- I first started like any other child: drawing and painting, but I didn't give up like almost everybody else usually does. I kept performing it as a hobby and now I'm making a proffesional life with it. Honestly, I never thought I had to learn any special technique in order to follow these arts as a real job. I was wrong. Now I thank the knowledge and the expertise I have, provided through a one-year course at the Fine Arts Academy, Artium academy, and the Pe studio. Actually I'm complete my third and last year at the Cinematography and Audiovisual School of the Madrid Community (E.C.A.M.), ending the Animation Speciality and the Storyboard & Visual Development sub-speciality. But now i'm working as freelance illustrator and design, that it's really what i like.

- Comence como todo ni, dibujando, pintando....lo que pasa que a una edad, no lo deje y segui haciendolo como entretenimiento y ahora me gano la vida con ello. La verdad es que no confiaba en que hiciera falta estudiar para esta profesion, pero estaba muy equivocado y agradezco como nunca la formacion que he adquirido en un a en la academia de bellas artes, Academia Artium, estudio Pe y ahora he terminado de cursar el tercer y ultimo a en la escuela de cinematografia y audiovisual de la comunidad de Madrid(ECAM), en la especialidad de cine de animacion y en sub-especialidad de storyboard y desarrollo visual, aunque ahora estoy trabajando como ilustrador y disedor freelance que es realmente lo que me gusta.
Saludos a tod@s.

A wonderful illustrative style - gorgeous eyes! Lots of mood.
gallimel
indeed what Erika said is true. The quality of the lines shines :)

Excellent artwork!!!!!!
ficticious
love the gritty animative feel to this. The blue lighting on the neck seems really odd to my eyes, but who the heck knows what lights are shining around her right? Nyce.

I think this looks great, but the last comment seems right, the blue highlight on the back of the neck seems out of place, since the bluelight is coming from the right, the back of the neck would not receive any blue highlight. I think if you remove it, the overall effect would be more dramatic. Still it is a good image.

Who is to say there is not more than one source of blue light - one in front and one behind? That would account for the blue on the neck! I like it.
Vandaler
Love it. Looks absolutly professional.

Beautiful line, composition, image. I vote for removing the blue highlight on the neck, too, but with or without, I love this.
gunsan
Love the blue color on this beautiful portrait.

Another extravagance of skill, style, design and color...I took notice of the comment above about the blue highlight and I agree (somewhat so) and think that if you changed that area to the color of the rest of the neck it would place greater focus on her face, which is so beautifully done..I placed a piece of paper over the highlight on her neck and it made her face stronger in appearance, which I liked...just another thought.......hmmm..whatever..it is still very excellent.......!!
