What has been your favorite project to be a part of? Why?

I've worked only on personal projects until the commission for Corel. This commission has been really important to me since it means my art can catch the attention of the right people, and that motivates me to create more. And for that, that's my favourite.

What does a typical day look like for you?

I'm an artist, but also a Firmware developer. So my typical day starts with me preparing my breakfast, then I go to the office, or sometimes I work from home, either way during my active pauses generally I see videos about other artists painting, or tips for playing the guitar. When I work from home, I use that time for drawing, it helps me to relax, and it keeps my day productive at the same time. It helps a lot when I have something I cannot solve in the code, after drawing or playing some instrument it's easier to find the answer. At the end of the day, I usually go to the gym, and finally, I read some novel or play videogames before going to sleep.

How does Painter help you in the development and creation of your artwork?

Painter is one of the tools I use the most for my creations. Its natural media brushes are perfect for my ideas because it gives to my art the feeling of being created as it would be in real life, with the versatility of the digital painting. It helps me to express my self the way I like to.
