Learn an exploratory system of themes and techniques to define your illustration style and apply the results to your projects
Drawing notebooks are a great way to experiment and stimulate your creativity, but they can also be a useful tool for recording your work and storing references. And for graphic designer and illustrator Manuel Bueno, they are also the foundation of his creative process, like interactive building blocks that lead to spectacular results.
In this course, Manuel teaches you his creative approach and how to work parallelly with multiple drawing workbooks that each have their own set of rules. Learn how to be organized, arrange your ideas, and analyze your creative process to look for ways to improve it. By the end of this course, you will have your own creative archive that you refer to over and over again.

A course by Manuel Bueno Botello
Manuel Bueno studied visual communication at the Centro creative institute in Mexico City. During the beginning of his professional career, his work focused heavily on graphic design, until he discovered the world of illustration. Since then, it has gradually shifted in that direction.
He founded the risograph printing studio Macolen, where he edited graphic works, and is currently in charge of iconography and illustration at the graphic design studio Plan Scusi. His work involves finding roads, pathways, and shortcuts to develop an idea using images.
