About the video: First, the idea: Choose your own adventure
Overview
“In this lesson, we will look at the pre-sketch phase: find an idea and universe of images to work on. We will combine elements from a list, to find a situation that we have fun to illustrate. This list will consist of a series of random words, and through the union between a being, an action, and an environment, we will complete a sentence that we will use as a trigger. It can be from something realistic (for example: a horse eating grass on a mountain; or a person walking a dog) to something more surreal (for example: a centaur runs on a rainbow next to a flying fish). We can add to the list everything we want, secondary characters, invented beings or places, etc. It is only an excuse, the important thing is that we can work on a main character in a given context, and that these words give us concrete elements to work with. ”
In this video lesson Juan Dellacha addresses the topic: First, the idea: Choose your own adventure, which is part of the Domestika online course: Digital Illustration with Textures in Photoshop. Learn to use textures and graphic resources to enrich your illustrations.
