A course by Jorge Martín Giménez
Jorge Sefy is passionate about fantasy worlds and adventure stories, whether they are stories, books, movies or video games. Since childhood, he has tried to recreate something similar, drawing and painting, inspired by the work of different artists such as Alan Lee and his illustrations of The Lord of the Rings, Beatrix Potter and his fables, or the bestiaries of Tony Diterlizzi.
Currently, in his career as an illustrator, he is dedicated to work related to advertising or design, but his true vocation is editorial illustration and character design, things he develops in his work as a teacher and in different personal projects.
