Creative Illustration: Play with Unexpected Materials

Start the course by getting to know Adolfo Serra, who talks about his career in illustration. He also discusses the artists that have influenced his work and helped him break through his own barriers.

Reflect on your own limitations, pressures, and inner critic until you are able to use them to your advantage. Then learn the ""piedra"" method to create freely through experimentation and connect with your ideas and inner world.

Then, make your own instruments and drawing tools using recycled packaging and organic materials, and play with home printing techniques like Gyotaku and using milk cartons and polystyrene foam.

With all these techniques and tools at your disposal, get illustrating using staining and drawing in the medium of your choice, whether a fanzine, an artist's book, or even an object. To finish off, Adolfo teaches you the best ways to share your pieces on social media to really make the most out of the platform.
