Traditional and Digital Illustration: from the Sketch to Printing

You will begin knowing a little better the work of Carla Berrocal and Mol and their influences.

Next, you will hear the testimony of several professional illustrators to understand the way they face each new project and the guidelines of a psychologist that will help you overcome the obstacles of blank paper.

Then, once overcome the fears, you will see with Carla the process of creating an illustration from the sketch, the preparation of the material, the use of the brush, how to apply contrasts, lights and shadows and solve possible errors.

Then Mol will show you the homemade technique of the Monotype, a printing method with which you can play with the textures and see how the pigments interact. But, if yours is the computer, Mol will also teach you how to bring these same textures to the digital illustration and the keys of digital inking to achieve an artisanal character.

At the end of the course you will have been able to experiment with two different ways of understanding illustration, traditional and digital, and decide which one you want to use.

WHAT IS THE FINAL PROJECT OF THE COURSE?

Make an illustration about your favorite book or movie.
