If you loved Daniel Torrent's Expressive Illustration Line by Line course, you're in for a treat! The illustrator, writer, and teacher is back, this time to guide you through reinterpreting the human figure while avoiding the usual stereotypes. He shows you how easy it can be to find poetry in everyday life when using your mind, your eyes, and your feelings to channel creativity.
In this course, learn a more expressive and intimate take on drawing the human body. The process is all about leaving reality behind and improvising with exaggerated strokes and unexpected color palettes.
Description
Daniel Torrent starts off the course by explaining his journey through the art world, from his studies to his professional experience exhibiting as an illustrator and painter. He also talks about some references that inspire him in his everyday life.
Next, discover three ways to represent the body: using sight with photos as a reference point, using knowledge with an exercise in anatomy, and using your own feelings to explore color and shape.
Time to get started on your final project by putting all the concepts you've learned up to this point into action. First, choose the reference you wish to use, then draw the basic lines and apply color to get as much expressivity as possible, and finally, create the background.
Wrap things up by putting the final touches on your image using Adobe Photoshop's wealth of possibilities. Daniel also teaches you how to turn your project into a series with other illustrations and how to get it recognized in the industry.
