About the video: We present our city
Overview
“The time has come to present our work! If we want to show our city we will have to digitize the illustrations. One of the options is to photograph them. I'm going to tell you why I choose that option and then I will explain my method of getting good pictures at home. Finally, I will show you the digital postprocessing and a series of very simple adjustments that you can make on the computer to achieve the best results. ”
In this video lesson Estrellita Caracol addresses the topic: We present our city, which is part of the Domestika online course: Story Illustration with Paper. Explore the possibilities of paper and learn to illustrate using collage techniques.
