To make organizing your project easier, I have prepared this list of essential steps: Briefing For initial inspiration, fill out and read the brief. If it is a personal project, you can fill it with personal experiences or a favorite film/music.

Mood board Based on the brief and initial idea, look for images to create the mood board for your course project. You can use the Unsplash website to collect and create your panel. Sketches Freely draw some sketches to plan the elements you would like to include in your poster or music album cover. Then, take some photographs of these objects and use the Unsplash website to collect images that you can't photograph but want to include in your composition. Drawing over the images Compose the photographs you took and collected. Using the images as a base, draw over them with your favorite brush. Try to apply contrast and uniformity to the line, but don't worry if it's shaky at first, over time it will get easier and easier. Then start coloring all the shapes down to the smallest detail. Lettering and finishes Bring originality to your illustration by drawing your lettering by hand. Photograph it and include it in the art. Lastly, add textures, particles, and finishes to your project.
