Alex Arizmendi

A visual work does not begin when the hands begin to draw it, but in the process of observation and previous investigation that the artist carries out to realize a masterpiece. The visual artist Alex Arizmendi is a strong supporter of this theory that he has been putting to the test with impeccable results during his more than 15 years of professional experience working for clients such as Warner Music, Editorial Televisa or Marvel Comics.

Observe carefully what surrounds you and know in depth other graphic techniques and the model you want to draw will make your results better; that's why in this course Alex will teach you different methods of observation and documentation to improve your drawing technique.
