Illustrator and art director Abraham Garcia, who has worked for brands such as Harley Davidson, Jack Daniel's or Volkswagen, will teach you how to create illustrations using the technique of blending (or shading using parallel lines) with Illustrator and Photoshop.
This effect helps to bring strength and expressiveness to the image and, in the words of Abraham, "it is a good addition to the repertoire of any designer".
During the course, you will learn the basics of this technique through different exercises and design a whiskey label, a project that will allow you to discover the process of Abraham's illustration from beginning to end practicing illustration techniques, composition, typographic treatment and color.
Description
You will begin knowing the trajectory and the influences of Abraham García.
Next, you will discover the Illustrator brushes and tools used by Abraham to create shapes, shadows and volumes, as well as tips for preparing a file correctly.
Afterwards, you will start with the design of your label. To do this, you will learn to create a reference board in Photoshop, composition tricks, vectorize your sketch and add shadows and baselines.
You will add a typography to the project. You will learn to adjust the letters and add detail through lights, shadows and ornamentation with Photoshop.
Finally, you will add color to the label and prepare the file for printing by separating the color into different layers.
