Lately I've been trying to grow some vegetable at my tiny apartment, so I decided to use this topic for the project. So far I've finished only SET 01. I'm sharing all the stepts until the final results. I feel that all these steps really helped me understand better the illustration process and certainly will help me to develop my own style. What do you think?

Final impressions:

I've really learned a lot in this course, especially regarding the steps from concept to final illustration. It was really helpful to watch Tom's whole creative process, from that I can start to figure out more about my own creative process.

As for my project, I enjoyed most the results from my set 1. Set 2 was a bit difficult to me, maybe because it was focused more on abstract concepts. It is possibly a sign that it's something I have to practice more.

So, more feedback is always welcome. ;)
