Learn to draw digitally and print your first illustration with various inks in a homemade style

Begin by getting to know Puño and his work, including his “garden of references,” which includes the blogs, images, illustrators, and styles that inspire him.

Then learn how to work with a graphics tablet. For this, Puño has developed a series of exclusive exercises that will help you train both your hand and your brain. Do you remember those calligraphy notebooks from your childhood? Learn how to become fluent in drawing and boost your creativity through fun digital writing tasks that will put your agility and motor skills to the test.

Once you have trained your graphic skills, Puño shows you some essential tricks for creating the gestures and movements of your characters.

The next step is to practice with some creative stimulation exercises. These should help you generate some great ideas and guide you toward making your first illustration inspired by a song.

Finally, see how to print your illustration by separating it into various inks and learn how to add texture to it.
