Illustration Techniques to Unlock your Creativity

Illustration techniques to unlock your creativity

“I hope you have filled all the pages of your notebook, so we have reached the end of our project. In the video I give you a summary of everything we have learned throughout the course. Thank you for having come this far. I wish you liked it and bring new things in your backpack! Follow the steps at your pace with the techniques, processes, games, tools that you like most so that your illustrations have life and strength. No doubt you are a great explorer of blank worlds! I hope this trip has helped you to lose the fear of drawing. You can use the techniques you have learned for any assignment or project, combine them, create your own. Everything I mention throughout the course are processes or approaches that work for me, based on experience, error and learning.

In my experience the best findings occur when the mind relaxes and we leave room for error and experimentation. I really want to see your creations and walk through your universes! Share with the whole community what you have practiced and learned. Feel free to comment on the work of other colleagues. See you in the forum, there we can discuss your illustrations. And if, in addition to the Domestika community, you want to share your creation with everyone, you can upload photos of your work and your process to Instagram with the hashtag #AdolfoSerraDomestika Thank you!!!!”
