SKILLSHARE GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION: BOLDLY DESIGN WITH COLOR AND SHAPE
Color and shape are powerful communicators in design and illustration — and this class will hone your skills.
Join famed illustrator Olimpia Zagnoli for an insightful class exploring her thoughtful, unexpected use of color. Inspired by her Italian upbringing and artists she admires, her illustrations are the perfect vehicle for exploring the interplay of inspiration and techniques — and ways you can combine them in your own graphic illustration work.
Every lesson brings to life how illustration can be a tool to communicate a message. You’ll explore:
Inspiration and resources
The power of simple shapes, both in sketching and digital illustration
Selecting colors that fit your artistic and editorial story
Polishing your illustration with final touches
Whether you’re just starting out or an experienced illustrator, you’ll walk away with a more considered, thoughtful approach to your work as well as techniques to add to your stylistic repertoire. Every student is encouraged to try and share the culminating assignment: creating a self-portrait illustration from start to finish.
