Turning Personal Artwork into Commercial Illustrations

Turning Personal Artwork into Commercial Illustrations

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. I hope you've enjoyed walking through my creative process. It's time to work on your project: creating artwork for a commercial illustration in your way and style! This could mean finishing the image you started while completing the course tasks, or you could begin a brand new project. Either way, I strongly suggest you take the time to gather inspiration and make a unique piece 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 me if you have any doubts. This will help me understand your creative process and guide you better if you need advice. Let's revisit the necessary steps to complete your illustration: • Read and study your given brief. • Collect all your visual references and prepare your materials and workspace. • Sketch out your artwork. Start from scratch, then develop and shade/finalise your piece.

• Scan and clean up your artwork. Then, place it onto given collateral for the campaign, mock-ups, and so on. • Create social assets to promote your work. I can't wait to see the illustration you will come up with, so don't forget to share it in the forum. You can do so by clicking on 'Create your project'. I'll be more than happy to answer any of the questions you might have along the way! I'll try getting 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. ”
