Patricia Pedroso | Portugal | Sep, 8, 1995
Hello there! I’m Patricia, an artist and illustrator based in Spain. Here’s a little about my path. I’ve always been creative, but I was also good with computers and maths, so I ended up studying an engineering career, which made me quite unhappy.
Around 2015, over halfway through it, I decided to leave that path and pursue art. By that time, I was already teaching myself how to draw, mostly realism. I wanted to move into Fine Arts, but as life has it, I ended up studying Fashion Design & Management. I stayed because, in a way, this did fill my creative passions with varied subjects, including figure drawing from live models.
I’ve been learning on my own for most of my creative journey, trying to figure out what I want and where I want to go with my work.
“Fantasy illustrations with a hint of darkness”
It took a while, but I realised what I have more fun creating are illustrations which include fantasy themes, creatures, myths and that I love a hint of creepy… (I do love me some horror films and Halloween vibes.) Which is when I came up with this phrase to describe my work.
I love experimenting with different mediums, but the ones that have stuck the most are watercolours & digital. Linework is one of my passions, be it traditionally or digitally.
I’ve worked on book covers, artwork for brands/private commissions and children’s books. You can check samples of all of these in my portfolio.
