```alert
 We deeply regret the passing of Miguel Gallardo, the acclaimed Spanish illustrator, writer, and teacher of this course. His unique talent for telling illustrated stories, inspired by life itself, will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the entire Domestika community. We will always continue to learn from him. 
```

In this course by Miguel Gallardo, comic book illustrator and illustrator of publications such as **La Vanguardia, Herald Tribune and The New Yorker** - you will learn to build the story of a graphic novel with minimal material resources based on your own experiences , those of your environment or family memories. 

 Gallardo will teach you to narrate in an exciting and fun way as life itself, just as he does in the novels dedicated to his daughter with autism, _"María and I" and "María is 20 years old"_ , por those received by the **National Prize of the Generalitat in the comic section and the Grand Prix of the Barcelona Comic Fair for its entire career.** 

 You will discover how to define the relevant facts of a story and structure it clearly, with emotion and humor. That is the secret of the recipe. _"The closest source of stories we have is our own life and experiences, as well as that of the circle closest to us, family, friends ... that's where the good stories come from."_ , as Miguel Gallardo admits.
