Thumbnails Pencil Lineart Color key Finished illustration When you start a project, think in 3D! Go beyond the limits of your perspective and dynamics and explore the potential for proportion and scale in your compositions. Draw what you love. Characters, themes and situations that bring you pleasure. This will make your work more enjoyable and authentic, resulting in art created with genuine passion. Create your own reference photos. Don't be a hostage to what's only available on the internet, but grab your camera and take photos of yourself for reference. The more, the merrier! Remember the composition tools that are at your disposal. There are valuable principles and tips that have been tested and proven throughout the history of art, so don't rack your brains trying to reinvent the wheel, but use these principles to enrich your art. Be objective with every detail. Don't let your art become cluttered with unnecessary information. Make each line, shadow, and color serve a specific purpose, contributing to concise, clear art. Be free in design and perfectionist in finishing. Be free and creative with the theme and tone of your project, and remember to choose a different character than mine, huh! I want to get to know the character that is important to you and see all the possible dynamics injected into this illustration! And don't be anonymous, speak up on the forum within the Community tab, I want to get to know you and learn more about your creativity. Regardless of where you are in your artistic journey, every artist has a unique perspective to share with the world. Meet other students on the course and don't miss the chance to receive feedback from me there, so I'll see you there! Hugs, and may the force be with you. Ever.”
