Illustration with Black and White Hatching

You will meet Jorge Lewis, who will explain more about his career, his style and the influences that have motivated his work. It will tell you about creative processes that start from analog expressions and manual inking, and will teach you several possibilities to work with manual hatches and inks.

You will learn to create different patterns (short, long, cross, organic or scribble, prologue and patchwork), strokes and textures in inks; In addition to gradations, lighting and volumetry. You will practice with simple spherical, ovoid, cylindrical and conical shapes, determining illuminated and dark areas, and looking for three-dimensionality through the screen.

You will explore the black and white inks or blocks, the importance of line value and merge organic and geometric graphic gestures with stylographs and markers, to create patterns and integrate them into images.

You will practice from traces of photographs of animals and humans related to your final project of creating an anthropomorphic totem, studying light, volume and graphic synthesis.

You will start building your image from the fusion between realism and geometry. You will start from the collection of visual information and a sketching process by using a manual collage.

Already with your template or collage, and using tracing as a technique, you will approach the final art of your drawing with analogs in an analogical way. Jorge will teach you special finishes and effects, deepening the shading with HB, H or 2H light pencils to reinforce the volume, contrast and dark sectors.

Finally you will perform the scanning of your analog drawing to finish editing it subtly in digital, and giving the color finishes to your work. You will finish your illustration for possible applications.
