Vector portrait with manual textures
“We have reached the end of the course! I hope you enjoyed it and learned something new. The main thing is to be motivated and work with great desire and interest. Plotting work can be a bit tedious at times, but the more dedication you put into it, the better the result. Remember to simplify the shapes of your illustration and give personal touches to emphasize expressions. In the composition phase the process is a lot of "trial-error", so if you are not convinced of something, they can continue exploring until you are satisfied. You have endless possibilities through the different elements. Remember to save different copies of your work, so that when you want to try something new, do not lose the advanced or you can recover an earlier version. Finally, be creative. Dare to leave the established. Experimentation will help to find new paths that you did not even imagine. Trust your intuition and use chance as a creation tool. It was a pleasure and see you at the forum!
