Get to the heart of a character drawing funny process and transfer it to a wall

The creative process of an artist is as unique as his DNA or as his username on Instagram. Fab Ciraolo, Chilean artist and illustrator, has developed his creative process by appropriating the collective imaginary to dismantle it and convert it into fun illustrations of characters with which he seeks to convey ideas of change, freedom and reinvention.

In this course you will learn to create an illustration of an emblematic character using the creative process of Fab Ciraolo, which combines hand drawing, photomontages and application of filters and textures in a fun and different way. Additionally, you will learn to create a version of your illustration ready to move to a wall.
