In this online course, Sergio Jiménez (Subcoolture) teaches you how to illustrate the cover of a book from our own hand-drawn letters. Work from references from the world of illustration and letters in the less literary and more typographic sense, then experiment with different materials and drawing tools. In addition, see different techniques and tricks when transferring that drawing to a digital environment.

Es una buena formación, bien estructurada y que abarca tanto lo manual como lo digital. El profesor tiene una buena comunicación y explica claramente la técnica de lo que hay que hacer Por poner un pega, echo de menos son más trucos de lettering para poder aplicar, pero que tal vez no sea la idea del curso.
Muy interesante.
Argomenti interessanti, trattati però in modo poco utile a capire come procedere. L'insegnante spiega il suo metodo ma non insegna. Credo che anche la traduzione in italiano non sia un granché. Uno dei peggiori corsi che ho seguito su domestika.
Me encanta dibujar letras, y este curso aborda muy bien el tema.
Ganz phantastisch. Sehr viel know how. Wissen und können wird optimal vermittelt. Sehr empfehlenswert.
