Where to find inspiration for creative work? Each person has their methods but, even so, there are general techniques that favor creativity. Music, for example, is a determining factor for the digital illustrator Valeria Álvarez - better known as Waltz - as it helps her find her mood ideal to flow in her illustrations; It also works to observe the environment and trace common situations, then adding details that go beyond the everyday, as elements that appear in your dreams.
In this course, Waltz will show you his process to create personal illustrations through a technique that consists of generating ideas from the connection between things that happen in reality and dreams. You will create a mini story with characters and background, which you will summarize in a digital illustration with option to different graphic applications, either for social networks or to print it.
Description
