A course by Jessica Roux
Jessica Roux is an American freelance illustrator and self-described plant and animal enthusiast. She has been drawing and painting since she was a child when her parents would set up easels in her backyard. She also spent a lot of time exploring the woods in North Carolina, which sparked her love of nature at an early age. Jessica went on to study illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design and, after graduating, began working as a freelance illustrator, combining her love of illustration and nature.
Since then, Jessica’s designs have been transformed into everything from prints to stickers and cards, and she has illustrated various books, including one of her own, Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to the Victorian Language of Flowers. Her work has also appeared in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as publications including The New Yorker and Taproot Magazine.

Cours très concret. J'ai bien aimé, entre-autres, la partie sur les fournisseurs et la manière de composer une carte de voeux sur photoshop. J'apprécie de pouvoir faire autant de retours en arrière que possible. Très intéressant.
