Graphic Experimentation: From Concept to Illustration

Graphic Experimentation: From Concept to Illustration

“We have reached the end of the course! Thank you very much for accompanying me. I hope that my lessons and advice will help you when creating your own artistic illustrations. Do not forget that each project is unique and that what we saw in this course is a base that you can use with your own style. I share the steps you must follow to carry out and share your project: Select the text Choose a text that you want to illustrate —either someone else's or your own— and an emotion with which you want to approach the text to generate a link with it.

Start sketching Sketch from the game between your text and your emotion. Build the artistic illustration Using your sketch as a reference, build separately the different parts that your piece will be made of. Continue experimenting While you build it, experiment with the "mistakes" that come up and improvise new paths. Frame the piece Find the frame that gives your piece the most strength and preserves it in the best way. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. It would be great if you could show me an image of each phase and add a brief explanation about what you have done in each one. I also want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, both sharing your progress and asking questions or giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress! I will try to spend as much time as possible on the forum, but please be patient because there will be times when I have professional commitments and it will take me a while to respond. See you in the forum!”

“Final project We have reached the end of the course and I thank you for taking it and share a part of what I have learned along these years. I hope it has helped you to identify those borders that many times, without realizing it, limit our work. It's time for you to put into practice what we saw, that you play and experiment with each of the processes. Remember that there is not a single path or a single way of looking at things. Don't forget that the core of a great image it is not in the technique. The core is in an idea. Do not stop ruminating until you find it. Do not stay with the fir...”
