About the video: Mood board and sketch
Overview
“Now I will show you how I do an investigation based on different sources to gather references and images about the character we define, so our mood board will be formed. From this and regardless of our little or a lot of skill in the drawing, we will make a sketch in which the physical characteristics of this character, as well as its environment and relevant annotations will be reflected.”
In this video lesson Eduardo Gómez (Alter Imago) addresses the topic: Mood board and sketch, which is part of the Domestika online course: Dark Conceptual Portraits. Carry out a somber-looking photoshoot from concept to editing.

On Pinterest you can search for images and group them using boards, and I show you then the ones that I have. Here I have one of dystopia, Mad Max theme, which I like very much, I have "creepy"...”
