Studying illustration and this was very helpful to have the process laid out and stepped through. Thank you very much. Emma @emmaillustrating
Nice overview of thinking/making process! Each step is well thought-out and demonstrated. He makes it look so easy. : )
I thought it was great to see the complete workflow of editorial illustration, as this is an area that I'm interested working in. Also something new I have learnt is the method of adding textures.
Really enjoyed this, fascinating to see the thoughts and process between initial brief and finished illustration.
James Yang was so fun to listen to and learn from. I am hoping to find more courses within SVS that he is teaching.
