Use pop culture elements to turn your illustrations into fun products with Photoshop

Felipe has been illustrating ever since he can remember, using his favorite characters as inspiration to create his own, to then discover new forms of art such as stenciling and graffiti to add to his creative repertoire. Now a professional illustrator and designer with over 7 years of experience, Felipe has applied his art to many different types of products such as suitcases for the brand Totto, phone covers for the brand PicMyCase, as well as fashion.

In this course, Felipe shows you how to develop your illustration using humor, originality, and your own culture, and shares his step by step methodology to apply your illustrations to products. Use Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create your piece and learn about color, light, shadows, and more to create your illustration, as well as seeing how to prepare your files to send for print when applying it to a product.
