Illustration by Hand Inspired on Digital Techniques

You will start by knowing Amadeo, who will take you on a career path, in addition to describing his artistic style and commenting on some of his greatest influences in the world of comics and illustration in general.

You will discover the advantages of hand drawing over digital and what are the Adobe Photoshop tools that you can transfer to your drawings without the need of a computer, then start creating your drawing with a series of materials that Amadeo will describe in detail.

You will start by illustrating the background of your drawing in several layers, imitating the intersection layers of Photoshop: multiply effect, color intersection and negative drawing.

Using your "mental search engine" you will resort to graphic elements such as animals, objects or people in order to assemble a composition, using the previous layers as background texture.

You will learn to make touch-ups of brightness, contrast and color by hand, without having to resort to digital publishing.

Finally, Amadeo will give you a series of recommendations to solve unforeseen events and will explain the care you should have with your drawings once finished.
