Retro Illustration: from Traditional Pencils to Digital Tools

Start by discovering Alice's artistic universe and her journey through illustration. From Roger Broders to Henri Cartier-Bresson and the Atelier Bingo, her list of inspirational sources is endless.

She goes on to give you tips to help you find inspiration (in real life and on canvas) and identify the right tone. Look at the many different style options available when doing your illustration, before learning how to reinterpret the human body, which is a practice that is particularly dear to Alice's heart.

Next, take a look at composition and balance. Put these concepts into practice by making small thumbnail sketches before thinking about color. Then, work on creating textures, both on paper and on screen.

Once you've grasped all these essential elements, start working on your sketch and digitize it in Photoshop. Learn how to fine-tune your strokes, use colors, and create textures. Now your digital work is now ready to be exported!

Finally, Alice shows you how to make a GIF, isolating the element you want to animate, preparing the layers, and setting them in motion. All that's left to do is to share it online.
