SKETCHBOOKS
I love to work with analog mediums, I find immense joy in immersing myself in the creative process, deliberately embracing a slower pace in contrast to the fast-paced world of digital techniques. For me, it's a quicker way to explore ideas, characters, and compositions while honing my raw artistic skills independently of digital software. It is also a platform to experiment with new materials and approaches for drawing and conceptualizing.

This section offers a brief glimpse into some of my sketchbooks that have been with me over the past few years:
ECOLINE SKETCHBOOK V2
I started this sketchbook around 2018 and completed it in mid-2023. I used this notebook primarily as a support for developing characters and creatures. For this skecthbook I only used markers & Ecoline paints with Polychromos colored pencils. It accompanied me through various gigs as an illustrator for creating children’s illustrated books, posters, and personal projects.
B/N SKETCHBOOK
Started in 2018, I primarily use this ongoing notebook for visual development and concept art projects. It's a space that enables me to jot down and sketch ideas quickly and effectively. It's been by my side for the initial stages of most of my work over the past five years.
ANATOMY SKETCHBOOK V2
I began this journal in 2019 and wrapped it up in 2021. It provided a space for me to enhance my abilities as a draftsman, refining my techniques in figure drawing, gesture drawing, anatomy, and structure. During this time, I enrolled in various Proko courses while also incorporating resources from Croquis Café into my practice.
ECOLINE SKETCHBOOK
This was my first Ecoline sketchbook; I filled it in 2016 during my Erasmus stay in Ghent. Discovering this medium was truly revelatory for me, as it was the first time I found a material with which I felt entirely at ease, allowing me to explore various forms of expression in a remarkably free and fresh manner.
ANATOMY SKETCHBOOK
I began this notebook during my 2016 Erasmus experience and completed it in 2017. It was in this notebook that my fascination with the human figure took root, sparking my exploration of how colors can convey emotions and feelings.I was also trying to find ways to simplify how I draw the body and its expressions.
