Travel Journal: Illustrate Your Reality

Start the course by getting to know Powerpaola as she talks about her extensive career as a plastic artist, illustrator, and cartoonist. She talks about why travel is a recurring theme in her work and shares her greatest inspirations.

Explore the literary genre of travel journals. Study different composition options for each page discovering how to combine text and image to create something altogether new.

Let the adventure begin! Leave all your preconceptions about what a "good drawing" is at the door, overcome your fear of putting pen to paper, and start experimenting with different techniques. Discover your unique style through close observation of your surroundings: spaces, buildings, houses... Collect a selection of leaves and flowers for drawing plants, and then Powerpaola shows you how to capture the essence of the people you cross paths with.

Go through your sketchbook page by page and take a more detailed look. With some tips from Powerpaola, retouch, add or remove bits where necessary. Get ready to share your travel journal on social media!
