Partial transcription of the video

So, the key is to put a filter, the same concept of an Instagram filter, what it would do is to unify all the colors, giving a similar value of a color similar to everything. How do we do it?

A course by Ricard López Iglesias
Ricard—aka Ricardilus—López’s passion for drawing started when he was three years old, always surrounded by pencils, paints, and sketchbooks, although his vocational calling for illustration started at the age of sixteen when he began his art studies.
He started with Fine Art studies for one year, which he later changed for Higher Level studies in Animation and 3D at EASD Pau Gargallo, in Barcelona, Spain, as he always loved the idea of bringing his drawings to life. During that time, he also took several illustration courses and completed his studies with a short animated film (La Folie), for which he was selected and rewarded by many renowned competitions. He then studied Graphic Arts at the Escuela Joso in Barcelona and graduated in 2017. Currently, he devotes all his professional energy into illustration, alternating many different types of projects that all relate to art in some shape or form.
His illustrations are usually based on the female figure, although he strongly believes that a good illustrator should never stay within a particular style, and is always looking for new areas and techniques to learn and include in his work. This has secured a long list of major clients for Ricard, including Penguin Random House, Planeta, TSL Jewellery (Hong Kong), Joyería Suárez, SofarSounds, or the National Art Museum of Cataluña (MNAC), in Barcelona, Spain.
