About the final project for: Vector Illustration for Vibrant Compositions

Vector Illustration for Vibrant Compositions

“Congratulations! You made it. We have reached the end of this course. Thank you so much for taking part and I hope you've enjoyed it. It's now time to work on your project. This could mean finishing the illustrations you started by completing the course tasks or making a brand new project! Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique project of your own. Make sure to keep track of your progress with different pictures of each step. It'd be great if you could also explain the choices you've made along the way and tell us if you have any doubts. This will help me guide you better if you need advice. Here are the main steps to follow: The Place Choose one of your favorite places in the world and brainstorm the reasons you love it.

The Sketches Using your references and imagination, sketch your ideas out in pencil, rendering the subjects into your own style. Edit them until the forms are clear.
The Final Illustrations Create your final illustrations by adding color, detail, and dimension to bring them to life in a consistent style.
The Grid Formation With a grid as your guide, lay out your illustrations to form one cohesive poster that tells the story of why you love a place and how you see it. Sharing Your Work Print out your poster to hang on your wall with pride, or divide the illustrations up to use in other ways.
And that's all! I can't wait to see the project you come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you showed a picture of each step and added a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I will be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. In the meantime, participate in the forum, comment on others' work, and interact with the community. See you there!”

“Final Project Erikas Chesonis. It's me! Congratulations, this is the end of the course. We've discussed simplifying our illustrations, working with limitations to push our creativity, a whole lot of illustrator techniques, and working openly to create a cohesive composition that showcases what we love to the world. Being restricted often forces us to be more creative. Set limits with things like colors, to not only give yourself one less thing to worry about, but to come up with unique solutions that we may not have even thought about. Consistency is key to keeping our composition looking c...”
