About the final project for: Character Sketchbook: Find Your Voice

Character Sketchbook: Find Your Voice

“We have reached the end of this course and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me on this creative journey. Their dedication and effort have been inspiring and it is an honor to have been part of their development as artists. I hope you have enjoyed each lesson as much as I have and that the tools and techniques we have explored become pillars of your artistic practice. Before concluding, I want to give you some final recommendations for your project. This exercise will allow them to apply everything they have learned and culminate with a work that reflects their unique style and creativity. Follow these steps: 1. Choose your favorite character. 2. Identify the attributes that make that character recognizable and write them down on post-its or a list. 3. Now, moving away from the references, create different drawings of your character, highlighting a different attribute in each one. 4. Next, choose the one you think is the most original or unusual design.

5. Scan it or take a photo of it with the camera you have on hand and import it to Procreate or the program of your choice.
6. Finally, ink and add color to bring your illustration to life and share it with the world.
Gather your images and share your project by clicking the "Create your project" button. Your publication will become part of your portfolio on Domestika. Your portfolio is your showcase to the world to show your talent. Remember that it is very important to tell the project, not just show photos. I share these links to help you organize it: Support link 1 Support link 2 I invite you to participate in the forum and interact, also commenting on the community's work. At the end of the day, we will help each other, so take advantage of this opportunity! Once again, thank you for your enthusiasm and participation. I am sure that each of you has a bright future in the art world. I hope to see your amazing creations soon! Until next time and keep creating!”

“Thank you very much for joining me in this course. I am very happy to have shown you a little about my process. and I hope that has left you something positive. Now it's your turn to create your version of your favorite character. But first I would like to give you some final recommendations. Remember that your character does not have to be the same as mine. You can choose one that you like and motivates you to make your own version. Any experiment you can think of is valid. Here I showed you some of the exercises that I do with materials that I am used to using, but anything you can think ...”
