Illustration with Digital Airbrushing

You will start by getting to know Martí and his educational and professional career within the world of design. It will teach you some of its most outstanding projects and its artistic influences. It will also show you traditional airbrushing artists that work with different types of materials and finishes.

Before you start working on your digital airbrush, you must lay a theoretical and practical foundation. You will analyze different illustrations of traditional airbrushing artists and Martí will explain the different shapes through masks. You will also have a short introduction to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop , focused on the tools you will need for this course.

You will do an exercise of search and observation of references, based on materials that we can find in our day to day: chromed things, glasses or liquids, to see how the light reacts in them.

You will start to make your sketch, first in pencil and then adjust it in Photoshop. Once adjusted, you will draw it in Illustrator where you will create the templates that will later serve you in Photoshop to make gradients and volumes.

You will color your drawing and you will create details of brightness, chrome and gradients. Finally, you will take care of the more detailed effects outside the masks, which will help you to touch up the brightness and saturation before exporting your project for web or printing.
