Digital Sketchbook: Awaken Your Creativity

Before starting, Del Hambre encourages you to always listen to good music and never stop drawing: the two things that he enjoys the most. Listen to Del Hambre as he shares his story with you, touching on some of his inspiration and influences that have helped him reach his full potential.

Take a look at the materials and tools that are used in this course. Del Hambre provides you with a series of brushes and page mockups that are used in Photoshop. Then, go through some quick exercises to get started and not think so much, loosening up and gaining confidence in your strokes as you go along.

Then it’s time to focus on adding expressions and ideas to make your work stand out. An illustration should always tell a story, so learn how to draw concepts and develop visual metaphors. See how to interpret a brief and how to create a coherent narrative throughout your images.

To finish, collect all your work inside a digital sketchbook that represents your style. Learn how to design the front and back cover, and create a publication that reflects the work you’ve done in the course. Finally, see how to use your project as a portfolio and get some of Del Hambre’s top tips on how to market your work like a pro.
