Learn how to create magical illustrations by uniting opposing concepts
Illustration is a visual language with infinite possibilities and José Rosero masters it perfectly, combining techniques, processes, and ways to create that have been defining a style that seeks to find beauty in what seems illogical.
In this course, learn a highly effective illustration strategy: the methodology of fantastic binomials, in which you will unite concepts apparently opposite to illustrate impactful images. It’s a strategy that allows you to go forward in the creative process when you find obstacles and feel that there are no other routes to explore. José teaches you about drawing, collage, color use, composition, and giving the last touches using Adobe Photoshop.
This is the second course by José Rosero on Domestika, after Introduction to Portraits with India Ink and Nibs, in which he teaches how to create a portrait using India ink with personality and character.
