In this section we will go through some materials that can be useful during the creative process.
This is an introduction to how our brain forms patterns. This is going to be the base of our creativity boost and how we can use it to illustrate an idea.
How to use your personal experience, memories and ideas to create an illustration through associations.
Starting from where we left it and building upon associations to create an illustration
Finding the graphic language for each image is different. Here you can see how associations lead to different decisionmaking
Here we will use associations again but apply it in a different way. How does that inspire an illustration?
While painting the background I´m sharing some interesting thoughts and ideas about illustration and creativity.
How do you decide what colors to put? How to trust your gut feeling.
Adding graphic elements can improve your illustration. Here you will learn how to approach that.
What is Symbolism and how can you use it to create meaningful illustrations
We will start with how a contrast Big/Small can trigger your creativity and allow you to see the world differently.
There is no right and wrong in illustration, there is only a process of discovery. Here we will experiment with a different graphic style to create an appealing and interesting image.
The world of playing with contrasts is endless and you can come up with so many interesting ideas by just reversing the roles.
Your imagination will be triggered to come up with ideas when you give it a suggestion. In this video you will learn a fun way to start a creative process from scratch by just giving your brain this simple suggestion.
You can do this exercise as many times as you want and you will get a different illustration each time. Involve friends and family members here to create and have a great time together.
Here we are going to work with different styles of dogs to create a habit of experimentation and use those drawings in our future projects. You will be able to sketch and draw freely.
This is another playful exercise where you create a library of houses and tell a story around them, bringing different elements according to that story.
"It is a really inspiring course! I think that most of the people who want to draw one day faced with the rules "how to draw", "what to draw", "first draw in academic techniqes". And as for me I was a little depressed that I can not study all this staff because I'm not a young girl in art school. I don't have so much time. But due to this course I will try to find my own creativity which is possibly not worse than insiration and manner of famous artists."

If you ever wanted to become an illustrator but you´ve been thinking that you can´t paint or draw, then this is the course for you.
Here you can learn how your own unique experience can make you a unique illustrator and why.
Our brain works in an amazing way, creating associations and patterns in our heads to make sense of reality. To illustrate is not really how you draw but what you draw and what message you convey.
I will teach some very interesting and fun techniques that will immediately boost your creativity and will make you start illustrating without any knowledge of anatomy or the rules of perspective.
You will learn how to convey strong ideas, how to use your memory database to illustrate, and much much more.
You will learn about how to work with color and graphic elements to enhance your illustration.
This course is packed with fun exercises that you can even do with your whole family.
