You will begin by getting to know the work and the artists who are passionate about Chamo San: "those of a decided line and that mix two worlds, the real and the oneiric".
He will speak to you about the language of his work and what his vision is about Illustrator's profession distinguishing between artistic and commercial projects. For this, he will help other professionals such as Guim Tió, Jordi Rins and Reskate Studio.
Next you will see his creative process and you will elaborate an idea for your final project. Before getting down to work, Chamo will teach you the classic tricks to draw a portrait with Photoshop and the technique of collage to make an express sketch. Once you have the basic drawing, you will learn how to polish it in phases by adding details of digital retouching.
Finally Chamo will teach you how to export the whole set and you will have your final illustration ready to be shown to the world.
