Watercolor Illustration: Capture the Essence of a Moment

“During the lessons I taught you all the secrets to create a perfect illustration, now it's your turn! Follow these basic steps to get your project done. Don't just copy my example, but experiment and invent something new. In this way, you will learn to independently apply the techniques I have taught you and you will give more room for creativity. Choose the scene you want to paint and list all the elements to insert, real or evocative.

Make the sketch, designing the planes, light and dark to plan the use of colors and the setting of the scene. Digitally draw the characters and elements you want to stand out. Paint the watercolor textures that will fill the scene with color, leaving your hand free to interpret the colors and shapes. Then scan them and correct any defects. Finally, place your textures in the illustration and put the finishing touches to set the mood of the scene and finish the project. Now share your project in the forum! Show everyone both the final result and the processing phases, documenting each phase with an image and describing what you have done with a brief explanation. As soon as possible, I will be happy to comment on your work. See your colleagues' projects and encourage them by commenting on what they've shared - don't miss this valuable opportunity to interact with the creative community. Thanks again for taking this journey with me! ”
