How did you become an artist?

I have loved drawing for as long as I can remember. I graduated as a graphic designer thinking that drawings would not generate much income especially in my country, Colombia. I was wrong, when I started posting some of my drawings on social media, I saw that there is an interested audience, which helped me make the decision to become an illustrator.

Where do you get inspiration?

My biggest inspiration since I was a kid has been video games and comics, especially badass girls like Lara Croft and Poison Ivy. I had a lot of fun trying to bring my favorite characters to life through my drawings. Creating new stories, designing new outfits, new hairstyles, etc.

What’s your hardware setup?

Nothing too fancy, a HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15.6" with 16gb of RAM and a Huion Kamvas 20.
