A course by Ana Santos
Drawing has been Ana's passion since she was a child, so she didn't think twice about enrolling in a fine arts school where she specialized in drawing and graphic design. She has always been fascinated by the human figure, which often appears in one form or another in her personal projects.
Ana combines traditional and digital techniques and is an expert at capturing expressive looks, strong attitudes, and somber moods in her illustrations, which have appeared in publications from major publishers such as Penguin Random House, Editorial Planeta, and Roca Editorial.
