Bio
José María “Chema” de la Fuente
Professional illustrator with 9 years of experience in illustration and comics for publishers such as Portal Ediciones and Editorial Santillana; advertising for studios such as Saatchi & Saatchi or Romero Artero; and brands such as L'Oréal or Fnac.
I studied the Bachelor of Arts and then Digital Graphic Creation at the Professional Drawing School of Madrid (ESDIP). To complete my training in the technical side of the production of books and comics, I went to the higher degree of design and editorial production. In this way I have achieved a complete training in the creation of a work in all its phases. I handle a large number of traditional techniques, such as pencil, watercolors or acrylic. And also the digital ones, with the use of several illustration and photo retouching programs. Complementarily I work as a teacher of illustration, airbrushing and comic in several centers of the community of Madrid, in addition to participating as a lecturer and organizer in various meetings and conferences related to the comic in Madrid.
