Bio

My way of working is a combination of traditional and digital techniques.
In traditional techniques, drawing and the ink is where I am more professional. Watercolors, watercolors, pencils and acrylics are the most commonly used soil but choose the more appropriate tool because each has its own character as to illustrate the text. Along with the use of digital tablet, Photoshop and versatility in reproduction of textures and strokes complete the process to meet deadlines without affecting image quality. These are digital media by email or yousendlt.
My greatest affinity and experience is to the texts to a young audience, but I'm open to other audiences, texts or proposals.
I bet for versatility.
