About Thank you for visiting my online portfolio. I’m an illustrator originally from Chile, currently based in Scotland. Storytelling is at the very core of my practice; I love telling stories throughout my illustrations and comic books by revealing small aspects of a story or a character in each panel with the intention to enrich the main story little by little.
My technique is a mix of two worlds; traditional materials and digital tools. I started drawing comics in the traditional way, with ink and paper. The progressive use of computers in my workflow, first to scan the artwork and to clean/correct the lineart, encouraged me to start drawing directly into the computer. Curiously, my intention has always been to give a “natural” look to all my digital artwork, to make it look organic and hand made. I explore traditional art media through my observational drawings that are essential to my research/creative process, discovering places, people and situations with my preferred range of art material, usually pencils, inks and watercolours. Traditional materials offer me the freedom and mobility to explore places without the need of a computer. Then I go back to my studio to create my illustrations and comic pages digitally, taking the best of both traditional and digital mediums.
