Un curs de 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.

Ce include acest curs?
Sit, rotate dolls, stretch your phalanges and get ready to illustrate. In this course you will develop the illustration work of a story as if it were a professional assignment for a magazine or book. First, José Luis will show you how to analyze the text to get the most out of it, looking for what you want to contribute to that story and, above all, teach you to work in the most effective way to transmit your ideas, taking advantage of the expressive possibilities of composition and the color.
You will follow several conceptual and practical steps: Brainstorming, sketch, final art ... And until a final test to verify that your illustration meets all the requirements. All this in a simple way, without getting lost in "esoteric" theories.) Pim-pam-pum Basic rules to learn and break In addition, during the practice, José Luis will explain how he works with Manga Studio, the illustration program and comics, but the same is applicable to almost any drawing program today: Photoshop, Autodesk Sketchbook and many others.

Care este proiectul acestui curs?
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!

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.
