FAQS

Creative process

What materials do you work with?

  • Sketchbook: My favorite is the Moleskine Art Plus.
  • Pencil for sketching: Prismacolor col-erase scarlet red.
  • Paint: Acryla gouache from Holbein mostly, and sometimes talens and arteza brand gouache.
  • Colored pencils: Caran D’Ache Luminance and Faber-Castell Polychromos.
  • Crayons: Caran d’Ache Neocolor II, although I don’t usually use them too much, I need to explore more with them.
  • Palette: I use ceramic palettes.
  • Paper: I change but I always repeat with the 300gr Hot Pressed watercolor paper from Arches.
  • Brushes: mostly round tip brushes. Until now I used Artix and Talens brands, but recently I have started using Escoda’s Prado brushes.
  • Scanner: Epson Perfection V600 Photo.
  • Digital format: iPad pro 12.9 inches + apple pencil, Procreate and Photoshop.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

What inspires me the most when illustrating are animals, nature and the inner world of human beings. These themes connect me with parts of me that are very important, like my inner child, and when this happens the ideas just flow through me. I believe that inspiration is not something we can go out and search for, rather it is about being receptive to allowing it to find us.

That’s why when I do simple things like have a hot cup of tea, go for a walk, or just watch a sunset, inspiration usually comes to me without doing anything else.

HOW DID YOU LEARN TO ILLUSTRATE?

I have learned self-taught. I would love to be able to say that I have studies related to art but that is not the case. Except for the subject I took in Art History in high school, I have not studied anything related to art. I have learned everything I know by experimenting, observing, doing a thousand tests and making many mistakes.

It helps me to observe what other artists’ processes are like, or rather I try to imagine them when I see their works, that helps me try new things and continue improving.

HOW CAN I BUY YOUR WORKS?

Right now you can purchase my creations through my shop!

 

Shop

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, I ship internationally!

Will I receive a tracking number?

The tracked shipping option is available when selecting the certified shipping type. You can see more information about it in the “ shipping information” section

Can I return my product?

If you change your mind about your order and would like to exchange it or receive a refund, please note that you will need to pay for return shipping. Furthermore, to make a return, the product to be returned must be in the same condition in which it was received, with its original packaging and, very importantly, unopened. If when the product is received it is found that any of these requirements are not met, a partial or total refund of the amount may be estimated.

If the package is damaged, please do not accept it and contact me.

You can find more information about returns in the “terms of use” section, in section 9.

How long does it take for my package to arrive?

It depends on where you live, the type of shipping and the stock. I usually ship orders within 3 business days of purchase, but it depends on the stock I have at the time the order is placed since my prints are produced at a professional printing press. If I run out of stock between orders, I need to place additional print orders with the printing press. This may cause a delay of up to 1 week, but no more than that.

Orders destined for Spain are delivered in 1/3 days.

International orders may take between 7 and 30 business days to be delivered (depending on the country).

What payment methods do you accept?

You can pay in my store using your PayPal account or pay with your card through PayPal without having to create an account.

Do I have to pay import taxes?

For customers outside the EU, customs and import fees are the buyer’s responsibility. Check your country’s customs regulations regarding import fees and maximum thresholds.
