A course by Sol Díaz Castillo
Sol Díaz started studying graphic design but her professional life led her to drawing and illustration shortly after, along with her personal approach to understanding and transforming the world around her. When she finished university, she published her first creations, and now, she has almost fifteen books published in her name, with characters that go from humor to fantasy, always with an observant eye.
She has also done illustration work for editorials with different authors and has explored areas such as animation, live drawing with music, magazine editing, podcast creation, and more. For Sol, drawing is a tool to tell stories and build characters that reflect your ideas, fears, convictions, and perspective on the world around you.
