Learn digital drawing and turn promotional messaging into an opportunity to express your creativity.

According to Antonio Colomboni, advertising is just one of the many ways to create an artistic product capable of striking and surprising. How? By carefully analyzing the client's brief, but also by following a creative technique capable of unleashing all your expressive talent.

In fact, in every communication project you can add your personal touch, giving value to the project but above all creating something of your own, which has character and originality.

In this course, Antonio will teach you how to create a digital illustration for advertising, from the idea to the final creation, guiding you through all stages of production. You'll learn how to read a brief, look for inspiration, use Procreate and have fun creating playful and entertaining images.
