A course by Elizabeth Builes Carmona
Nature is always present in the work of Colombian illustrator Elizabeth Builes. The only thing that overshadows her love for plants and landscapes is her passion for storytelling. She focuses her talent on narrative illustration for the publishing sector and children's literature.
Her work has been published by companies like Alfaguara, Tragaluz Editores, Kalandraka, and SM, among others. By experimenting with colors, lines, and a bit of trial and error, Elizabeth has gradually defined her own approach to illustration and uses it to connect readers with her characters.
