A course by David Morales
David Morales is a Colombian architect and notebook artist based between Barcelona and his hometown of Ibagué.

In 2018, he started an art project called ""One Day One Drawing"" in which he depicts his surroundings, family, and concerns on a daily basis. He has also created book covers for the publishing house Planeta, Spain and for Taller Talante, Colombia.
