SUMMARY
A series of four illustration, each is placed as the hero image for one Adobe's product in the CC Learn website. Maybe it is not easy to realize first, but each illustration is conceptually related to its application and the tutorial subject in which it is used.
PREPARATION PROCESS
Hand drawn preliminary sketches are always the first step. Every time that I want to tell a story in an illustration piece, no matter if it not an animation, I create a short story-board with different sketches of that single illustration. It allows me to have a visual understanding of the dimensions, motion and overall the anatomy of the characters.

PAINTING TECHNIQUES
One of the techniques that I used to illustrate these pieces was based on an experiment, in which the colors, shades, shadows and basically all the visual aspects of the final image are illustrated out of very lines. In this technique a painted piece could have more than one thousand of lines, layered over each other, to create the final image.
