Discover the meeting point between pop art and Gothic stained glass, and learn how to draw an image rich in colors, patterns and shapes
What do Gothic stained glass and pop art have in common? Easy: vibrant colors and geometric shapes. By combining these two features in a kaleidoscopic style, you can create dazzling digital illustrations. Join Marco and Stefano, founders of Van Orton studio, and learn how to make geometric pop art based on a reference image of your choice.
The creative duo, specialized in digital illustration and design, have collaborated with brands like Marvel, Mercedes-Benz, and Colmar. In this course, Marco and Stefano teach you how to pick the perfect image, sketch a design, and bring it to life with colors, textures, and patterns using Photoshop and Illustrator. Draw inspiration from the rad aesthetic of the '80s and compose your own colorful illustration.

Reviews
Marco and Stefano are brothers and the creative duo behind the digital illustration and design studio Van Orton. They both studied graphic design and spent the early part of their careers working at a communication agency until one day they decided to return to their true passion: illustration.
After creating an Instagram profile to showcase their art, they began to attract the attention of fans and brands alike, eventually leading to collaborations with big-name clients such as Marvel, Colmar, Variety, Mercedes-Benz, Armani, Estathé, Ray-Ban, NBA2k, and Empire Magazine. They have also created illustrations for musicians and bands like Jovanotti, Pearl Jam, and Bon Jovi.

What a brilliant course! More than anything else, it changes the way you look at ‘empty’ or ‘blank’ space: you become aware of the dramatisation possibilities in that space, even if the space itself doesn’t give you clues as to what that dramatisation could be. The course is thorough, systematic, and incredibly easy to follow even if you are relying on the sub-titles for the audio translation. Very, very highly recommended!
