Find your style, overcome blank paper and learn to dye in a traditional or digital manner

A course by Ustudio Mol+Carla

Mol and Carla Berrocal - two Designers and Illustrators with very different ways of working with each other - will teach you how to find your own style as an illustrator. You will see the creative process of making an illustration from sketch to inking testing traditional techniques and also the possibilities offered by digital tools. All this from a motivating point of view in which, in addition, you will learn to face blank paper.

Once you have your illustration, you will delve into the home printing technique of the Monotype and you will discover how to apply textures and reproduce them digitally.
