Illustration, Climax and Denouement
Kursus oleh José Luis Ágreda , Ilustrator

Learn to make the most of the expressive possibilities of illustration through a written story
The illustration does not have to be decorative. With this premise, José Luis Ágreda (El País, Fotogramas, Planeta ...) will teach you to make a series of three illustrations based on a written story. As if it were a professional assignment, you will learn to find narrative and conceptual solutions to the problems posed by editors and to convey your ideas in a clear and interesting way, whatever your drawing technique may be. In addition, you will see how an illustration is executed and although you do not consider yourself an ace of the stroke, you will discover how to create very expressive illustrations working with the concept, the composition, the color and, above all, the emotion.

Apa proyek kursus ini?
Through practice, you will make three illustrations from a text, as if it were a professional assignment. You will take advantage of the constraints of the client (size and format of the illustrations), to take advantage of visual ideas and give narrative unity to the whole. José Luis will work on a story by Edgar Allan Poe, "The Fall of Casa Usher", a text full of suggestive images, characters and scenarios, but also open to very diverse treatments. Although you can choose another text or even a song, get inspired!

Este curso es muy completo y he aprendido mucho, me han gustado mucho los ejercicios y las explicaciones teóricas. Lo recomiendo, si lo haces te va ha gustar mucho y no te vas a agobiar. Si te decides, espero que lo disfrutes tanto como yo.
A really good course! among the best I’ve taken.
good: seeing the entire creative process, especially the second thoughts and corrections, both in the drawing and in the concept. The materials are good. (and the parrot!)
Bad: The lighting in the videos but we’re not here to look at the instructor, so it’s not a big deal. There are no videos showing the creation of the second and third illustrations, which would have been nice to have.
Overall, an excellent and very useful course.
