This is an illustration commissioned for the magazine Bacánika, a Colombian publication for young people. My illustration was featured in the 42th edition, in the test section, that was about how much people know about colombian newspapers.

First I sketch on paper (here´s only the final sketch), I scan it and then use it as a reference in Painter to create the line work, which has the feel of a very clean linocut, but still has little imperfections. I create textures from found objects, others I create by drawing with ink or acrylics or anything I have around in different textured papers, then I play around with them in Photoshop and convert them to black and white images. Then, in Illustrator, I color it and play with the different textures I created.
