A course by Rocío Diestra Villavicencio
Although she is formally trained as an architect, Rocío Diestra has found success as an illustrator and cartoon artist. Her comic strips are characterized by sweet, simple, almost naif, linework, that contrasts with the provocative messages woven into the dialogue.
This contrast of sweet and sour has led her to work with major brands like Absolut Perú and Vogue España. She has also published a book with Penguin Random House titled Este libro no es acerca de ti, a collection of comics and texts that was warmly received by her audiences.
Her latest projects tackle other important topics like mental health and social issues. One of the most notable projects from her recent work is El Crush, a webcomic that became so popular on social media it was converted into a graphic novel and published by Penguin Random House.
