ARTS

I always say that art and design should walk together. I started doing art when I was a kid and this became my life. It all started with my passion for comic books and video games and my dream as a kid to draw the X-men. I was also into watercolors and some other traditional drawing and painting techniques. From that, I went to illustrations for advertising campaigns, concept art, digital illustrations, character design, and much more. Here's a collection of some stuff I do with all my heart and love. 

THE
HILLTOP
MANOR

This is an AI experiment. My main goal was to tell a story so I decided to make a horror movie trailer (big fan of the genre). It's short and full of opportunities for me to work on storytelling, art direction, and design. During the process, I mixed AI tools and some traditional design and editing techniques. 

COMICS

Drawing superheroes is something I have done since I was 8 or 9 years old. I post a lot of these drawings on my Instagram account where I show all the steps I take and also teach young artists.

FACES

The world is full of people and countless faces. When you walk among them in the metro, ia a concert or in a football match you only see faces in the crowd.

ILLUSTRATIONS

Characters, backgrounds, comps, 3D renders, posters, watercolor illustrations.
