In this course, Gerard Miró from the Lo Siento Studio teaches you how to create a three-dimensional still life on paper using the papercraft technique. Learn to extract the geometry of an object and transfer it to paper in the form of a fold-out to assemble later.
The applications of this technique are endless, as it allows you to physically bring to life any object, volume lettering, packaging, and more.

Who is this online course for?
Designers, illustrators, artists, and creatives in general who struggle with papercraft or are interested in learning new forms of illustration, as well as those who want to know some of the methods that Lo Siento Studio uses to carry out their work.
Requirements and materials
No previous knowledge is necessary to take this course, just a lot of enthusiasm and a little patience.
Regarding the materials, you need a precision cutter or scalpel, an endoscope, a compass, a metal ruler, a few different-colored markers, glue, paper, colored cardboard, and a basic photography set, as well as a computer with Photoshop installed for the final retouching.
Don't let the geometry part put you off, you use it as a reference for the shape of the object, but no knowledge of applied mathematics is necessary.

A course by Lo Siento Studio
Borja Martínez and Gerard Miró form part of Lo Siento Studio, one of the top studios specializing in graphic identity, which works for clients as varied as restaurants, food brands, law firms, magazine covers, CDs, exhibitions, and festivals.
Gerard Miró is a graphic designer and has been part of Lo Siento Studio since 2008. His work focuses on the most artisan and volumetric part of the studio and on finding solutions that allow objects or lettering pieces to be physically materialized in volume and packaging.
Although his background is as a graphic designer, he has always been interested in volume and space as a form of expression, architecture and the geometry of things, understanding how objects work, and science and technology that allow things to work.
More recently he became one of the founders of Stargate Studios MC, leading VFX projects for series like Heroes Reborn, The Walking Dead, and Fear the Walking Dead, among others. Beyond his role as a producer, his passion is the manifestation of light applied to rendering. He is obsessed with lighting in environments related to architecture and photography, and it is in this area where he has focused his greatest professional contribution.

Plusi did not enjoy this course, hard to follow, explanations are not good, camera bad, irregular shape wrong choice, dragged out watching from a distance with camera, disappointed that demonstrations are of such poor descriptions. i am half way though and i feel as confused each video, it was better so short time when the egg was used in demo again, i will follow it through to the end in the hope i learn something but as far as now, it not good course for me.
