Gouache and Collage Techniques for Narrative Illustration

“ Thank you very much for having accompanied me on this path of storytelling and color. I hope you enjoyed it a lot. Before we say goodbye, I want to give you some advice to face both this and all your projects: • Think carefully about your topic, your trigger, give it time. • Do not forget that the process is basic. • Sketching is previewing, it is a step that you should not skip. • Do not think about pleasing anyone, who should be happy with the result is you. • The final ending does not exist, everything is perfectible. It is as good to accept as to rethink. Now let's review the key phases of the project. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Theme and structure Choose a theme to work on in your story. As you have seen, I have told the story of a mermaid. Next, build the structure of your story. Here I showed you the three parts of my narration, although, after thinking about it, finally the order was as follows: Ana walks along the beach > She saw a fish > And she stayed to live in the sea.

The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I'm looking forward to seeing your project and following up with you. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you in the forum! ”
