Hi!
My name is Wedersom Arantes and I am a freelance illustrator and comic book artist from Brazil.
I graduated in Visual Arts and Graphic Design from Faculdade de Artes Visuais of the Universidade Federal de Goiás in Goiânia - Go in February 2011, but since 2004 I have been working in the field of visual arts.
My credits include: animated short films, a feature-length documentary, award-winning photographer with works selected for festivals in Brazil, USA and Portugal. In addition to dozens of visual identity projects for companies in different markets.
My work is based on traditional painting and drawing techniques:
-
Gouache;
-
Acrylic Paint;
-
Oil Pastels;
-
Pencils;
-
Charcoal;
but I like it even better when I can mix them up somehow.
My main artistic influences are:
I like to think that my aesthetic ambitions are some point along a line whose ends are Realism at one and Expressionism at the other.
My vocation is to use my knowledge, experiences, techniques, influences to tell stories visually.
