Creative Techniques for Design and Illustration of Characters

You will start knowing the work of Gastón Caba and his influences.

Next, you will define the characteristics of your character and play with some design variables. At this point, Gastón will explain unlocking techniques that will serve as triggers to generate ideas for your stories (from personal experiences, to dream diaries).

Once you have a good number of ideas written in your inspirational notebook, you will create an alphabet of images and generate a series that will help you to publicize your work on a regular basis (by publishing it on a favorite blog or social network).

Gastón will give you advice about choosing the format, the color palette, the scan when digitizing your drawings and how to give them a professional finish.

You will also see how to stretch the concept of your character to the maximum by listening to the criticism of your environment, socializing with your audience and applying your ideas on other supports (books, products, games, actions on the street, etc.)

This daily trip will shoot thousands of ideas, it will help you to focus on a project, to develop yourself technically as a professional and to acquire greater capacity for concentration and confidence to carry out a long-term project.

In addition, it will be of great help to let you know and that your work connects with a larger audience.
