I'm a 26 years old self-taught freelance illustrator, sometimes designer, based on Portugal. Mostly I like drawing a lot.
I started illustrating with a Wacom tablet when I was 16 for fun and tried to take it more seriously over recent years.
I've never done this professionally but I've been commissioned some works over the years to friends and acquaintances.
In addition, I also have a firm grasp on both the Portuguese and English language and am able to accurately translate whole sentences, expressions and specific terms.
Work Terms
Depending on a few outside factors, my work hours range from the morning to the early afternoon, however, sometimes I will also work during the late night.
I prefer to keep open communication with my client, showing various stages of the workflow and generally keeping an open mind about whatever the client wants or needs.
However, when the client wants or needs something that cannot be done or would look plain bad, (for example: non-matching color combinations, very frequent during logo/illustration commissions) I try to be upfront and explain what doesn't work and try to reach a compromise between his original vision and reality.
