Dream-like, Surreal Drawing in Ink on Paper

“Congratulations! You have reached the end of this Domestika course. It has been a genuine joy sharing my knowledge and experience with you. Thank you so much. I sincerely hope you have enjoyed the course. Now I’d like to remind you of some of the most important steps we gave throughout the course and that you should remember when you start doing your course project: 
 Finding Inspiration Define your influences, and gather your references.

Start Sketching and Inking Begin sketching on your final paper and setting some areas you’re happy with in ink. Take breaks, come back to your artwork, and repeat step 3, as many times as needed, until finished. Continue gathering more references if needed. Scanning Your Work Scan and clean up your artwork. Then, frame or mount your art on board. And that's all! Thank you so much for taking part. I can't wait to see your illustrations! You can share your project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project." Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it.

I will reply as soon as I can, but in the meantime, I encourage you to interact with each other. Communication fuels creativity. So, don't be afraid to reach out and collaborate with others. But most of all, have fun! See you in the forum!”
