Basing your illustrations on some usual themes or concepts, or resorting to specific elements, can help you achieve your own style and be recognizable from the rest of the illustrators. The Ilustronaut resorts to political, satirical and mocking themes in his compositions with character and full of personality, which have made him stand out and work for clients such as 7up, Sprayground, Merrell, Interbank, among others.
In this course, Ilustronauta will teach you to create characters and their universes from the concept of a brand, expressing everything in the composition of a digitally illustrated poster, while you find your own style. You will start with the mood board and the concept, you will go to the sketch and outline, you will do the coloring and shading, until the final finish.

I have followed Ilustronauta's work for many years and when I saw his course in Doméstika I did not think twice to learn from his technique. He is a source of inspiration and is always aware of trends to share his art with everyone.
Great course, excellent technique, but above all he makes it look simple. That shows mastery and experience.
