Character Illustration and Street Art Mural
|
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.
You will start by knowing Fab, who will give you a tour of some of his most important illustrations, both on paper and on walls, and then talk about his influences that range from pop art to music groups like Babasónicos .
Before you start drawing, you will do an introspective and observation analysis to decide the character you want to draw. Fab will choose Gabriela Mistral, first Nobel Prize for Literature in Chile. Before drawing you will look for graphic resources, bibliography and reports to define what your character really is.
You will start to sketch your character by inspiring you in the photographs you have collected but, above all, letting your hand flow. Fab will do this part of the process on paper, but you can use Adobe Photoshop or any other media that you think is convenient or, rather, more fun.
You will take your sketch to Photoshop to make the digital layout and combine the face you have created with a body based on photos, creating what Fab calls a “Frankenstein”. You will also incorporate background elements into your drawing. Fab, for example, will draw Gabriela Mistral on a swing in the sky.
