The illustrator Óscar Giménez will teach you how to create unique and personalized portraits from photographs and multiple references. You will do it through digital illustration techniques and tools developed by Giménez himself throughout his career and that you can apply to any other type of project.
Start thinking about your favorite celebrity because you will learn to portray him like you have never imagined before.
This course is the perfect complement to "Illustration for music lovers" , the previous installment of the illustrator for Domestika, which explains how to illustrate a high-impact poster for a concert.
Description
You will begin by getting to know the work and influences of Óscar Giménez - an illustrator who considers himself permanently dissatisfied although, after 13 years of profession, he no longer believes in perfectionism but in dedication.
Then you will learn basic concepts about composition, brushes, strokes, shading, color and retouching. All these resources you will practice first on your own self-portrait so that you can get free with the tools and then, once you have decided who is your favorite famous character that you want to illustrate in a unique way, you will start the documentation phase, search for images of reference and composition of the main portrait.
When you have your character fully defined with shadows and color, it will be time to add new elements to enrich your illustration, a background that gives the work its greatest personality and the last touches.
