From idea to finished illustration

Having an idea in your mind for a lovely illustration or artwork, is one thing. Getting it on paper, is a different thing. Having it turn out the way you actually envisioned it to be, is a different story altogether…..

These sessions are going to empower you to take on that challenge. I will take you through the entire process from a blank page to a finished illustration. We will be covering all the necessary steps and topics you need to succeed. At the end of this total Art Class you will even be able to illustrate your imagined artwork with different mediums. Even without any experience. Challenge accepted?

Session 1 – Composition.

In this session of the Art Class I will show you how to take some pictures/photographs as your inspiration and combine these into a lovely composition. Lots of people really struggle to come up with a satisfying composition. So I will be sharing my entire composition-making-thought-process with you. Giving you step-by-step explanation how to go about this. Enabling you to develop your own thought process to get your ideas on paper.

We will be making a number of thumbnails (small drawings), creating different options to choose from. This way you will end up with just the right composition for the illustration or artwork you’re going to love.

In the coming weeks I'm going to upload a session each week. Composition, drawing, shading, inking, painting and more. At the end you will have followed me along in creating an illustration in various mediums from scratch.

These images show some of the steps we're going to take when we're going from idea to finished illustration in the coming weeks:
