I decided to share a little compilation of my favourite blogs about illustration, where I have found interesting articles which helped and continue helping me as an illustrator. I’m very grateful to all the people responsable for them and I hope that I can also help others who may come here and discover them.

I dedicate the first group of blogs to the Spanish illustrators Carla Berrocal, Marián Lario, Diana Toledano and Io Bru, that last one is the owner and director of ‘Illustrando Dudas’, a very valuable reference for illustration in Spanish. All of them, great professionals, reflect their passion and knowledge for art and illustration on their sites, where they share valuable info about this creative world.
