About the video: Basic gestures
Overview
“In this lesson I will teach the basic gestures to make realistic illustrations.

In this video lesson Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo addresses the topic: Basic gestures, which is part of the Domestika online course: Realistic Painting and Illustration with Procreate. Learn to digitally draw with your iPad and your fingers.

“In this lesson. i'm going to teach you a series of basic gestures that we will perform with our fingers in Procreate. There are many more. but these are the ones you will use all the time when working on this final project. And believe me. they will save you hours of work if we add up all these small fragments.

A course by Jaime Sanjuan Ocabo
Jaime Sanjuán is a digital designer, illustrator, and painter. He studied fine art at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, where he learned traditional artistic techniques such as oil painting, pastels, clay modeling, etc. However, he decided to swap his brushes and studio for an iPad and the Procreate app, which give him the possibility to explore countless techniques without needing much space and using only his fingers.
Jaime has always been fascinated by realist and hyperrealist painting. It's this aesthetic that he always seeks in his paintings and illustrations, which are full of double meanings and impossible realities. This very particular vision and a highly refined technique have earned him international recognition such as the Communication Arts Award, the American Illustration Award, and the Latin American Illustration Award, enabling him to see his work exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.
