In this class, you will learn how to start a series of illustrations using your favorite subject: YOU :)
That will allow you to: Notice your style elements; Work on illustration cohesion; Self-reflect on what your life experiences meant to you
No prior knowledge is required, and you can choose the medium you feel better working with:
- watercolor
- procreate
- pencil
- markers
Your class project will be making two illustrations that you can cherish always!
Step 1: Moments Brainstorming
To start the reflection, we will brainstorm some experiences you would like to be featured in your series.
If you need inspiration, here is the list:
Trips

Embarrassing moments
Step 2: Gathering inspiration

Make a folder or a Pinterest board with your visual inspiration
Step 3: Sketching and coloring

Step 4: Drawing for cohesion
Considering the Cohesion Elements List that is in the resources section to make your second piece.
If you follow your creative decisions, both pieces of artwork will seem like they belong in the same series!
