Illustrate From Scratch

Create final illustrations from scratch


When it comes to illustrating, there is no must path to follow, and using a detailed line-art isn't always necessary! Learn how to render from a rough sketch and shape your characters further with just color, shades, and texture.

I will help you adapt the oil painting technique to digital drawing to develop a unique coloring technique. You will soon understand your ideas from a volumetric perspective and give them life even without the detailed lines.

Join me step by step to learn about my illustration process, including selecting colors, finding the spectrums of shades, and rendering it to look professional.

This course is perfect for digital artists interested in learning about creating a color palette and integrating a blending coloring technique! We will explore color theory, harmony, and combinations that will help you keep your color range on a manageable scale.

This course is ideal for both beginners and intermediate artists. I will also guide those who need coloring techniques to improve their drawing skills without needing to do linework.

By the end of this course, painting won't be a recurrent issue in your art process! You will know how to pick colors, improve their contrast, choose complementary colors, and shade and contour to the shapes to stand out.

By following each step throughout the course, you will be able to integrate this coloring process into your artwork and create fully rendered pieces!

Nice to meet you, I'm Andrea!


I'm a freelance illustrator, author of the webcomic "Of Cupid's and The Likes" on Tapas, and a graphic design student based in Costa Rica. I've been active on social media platforms for about 8 years. However, my passion has always been in art and illustration for my entire life.

My artistic journey started as a self-taught exploration from a very young age. I was particularly fascinated by how color can not only express emotions, but also convey feelings, and improve storytelling, so that has always been my focus. Working as a freelancer has given me the confidence to grow as an artist and help others progress in more practical and efficient ways.
