How to Tell Stories through Illustrations with Djamila Knopf

This was great🎉 Thank you❤

She has that Phoebe Buffay energy. I love it 😅

Thank you so so much for sharing this. So inspiring and she seems to be a very nice person!

I also color skin yellow as a kid until one day one of the teachers pointed it out

That was very nice! This has given me a great confidence boost to start adding more story to my art! Also steps to get better!

Watched the whole thing. Thank you!

Thank you Djamila. I had the same dilemma - I had all these skills but I didn’t know what to do with them. I follow a lot of artists but I didn’t know how to identify what it is that I liked about their work so in the end I think maybe it’s the color, maybe it’s the style, etc. the superficial stuff. I always felt confused as a result, thinking maybe I should draw this or that way. I didn’t understand that everything from the lineart to the colors and textures are after one goal, they are just tools to get a message across. Thank you, for helping me find a direction and for teaching us how to use our skills to reflect who we are as individuals.

Wow, it was like im in a kindergarten learning rocket science😐👏

I loved the detailed information on the creation process and the personality of Djamila! Great video, thank you!

Thank you for sharing this. To finally being able to explore art and visual story telling is something I never thought I'd be able to do. I'm grateful for this channel sharing this content!. Thank you.

Would have been in Paris studying in 2008? I have a photo of a girl drawing in a park that looks like you......

Definitely a teacher. Pair sharing, having the audience get involved by personalizing the content... well done.

This is amazing and I so greatful for these videos! I never would have been able to attend the expo even if Covid hadn’t happened! I feel so lucky to be able to listen in with millions of other people!

Haha, Literally heading back to my couch to look at one of my Arthur Rackham books to study how he tells story with his illustrations, take a detour to jump on my computer real quick and see that this video popped up.
Now I have a dilemma on my hands.

I loved listening to this💕
