Al pintar retratos, contamos con un espacio muy reducido para captar la esencia y expresividad del sujeto. La ilustradora Cristina Gómez, sabe que esto puede provocar poses rígidas y atmósferas tediosas.
Por ello, se ha dedicado a mejorar la dinámica de sus obras generando más movimiento, aportando más color y gestos más divertidos. En este curso online, Cristina te enseñará a utilizar herramientas digitales y técnicas de renderizado para dar vida a un personaje lleno de estilo.

Este es uno de los mejores cursos que he tomado, he sido fanatica del estilo de adesignerlife por mucho tiempo. En mi opinion, este curso es mas intermedio que iniciacion, pero en general, Cristina explica muy bien como lograr y terminarlo, recomiendo este para todos aquellos que quieran empezar/cambiar del lapiz y papel a lo digital. En general a todos, pero principalmente aquellos que ya vienen con una base en dibujo!.

Saludos!
Acabo de hacer este curso y me ha gustado muchísimo. He aprendido a usar herramientas de Procreate que no sabía cómo sacarle partido para realizar ilustraciones. La profesora, Cristina, lo explica todo muy bien y se entiende perfectamente.
Si alguien está empezando en esto de la ilustración digital, se lo recomiendo sin ninguna duda porque sienta muy buenas bases para su desarrollo.
