Watercolor Coloring for Comics and Illustrations

You will meet Sergio Bleda, his professional career in the comic world, the most representative illustrated projects and his main influences. In addition, it will explain why color is a very important narrative tool for a comic or a cartoon.

You will see the materials that you will use to start coloring, such as pill watercolor, brushes, paper, gouache , among others.

Afterwards, you will make a sketch to put into practice lighting and volume techniques. Once you have finished the exercises, you will create a color palette and start coloring your page.

From Sergio's hand, you will start to work on the color of your project — if you don't have it, you can work with a page from Sergio's illustrated project, Jakob -. You will learn to apply several layers of watercolor and to give shadows and volumes to the characters, focusing more and more on the details until you finish it.

You will also learn how to add special effects with some tricks to give more life and dynamism to your illustration with a toothbrush, bleach and walnut.

Finally, you will scan your page with Sergio's advice and you will see a series of pages already completed by himself and other illustrators.

At the end of this course, you will be able to color in watercolor the comic you want with your style.
