BOOK "DEBAIXO DA VIA LÁCTEA"
I was invited to illustrate this amazing young adult book, written by Júlio Emílio Braz and published by Editora do Brasil.
I used mixed media (including acrylic painting, Nanquim ink, collage, crayons, and markers) to make all the textures and some of the shapes used in these illustrations. I enjoyed a lot diving into the main character's world and translating his adventures into images.
