Illustrator | Comicbook Artist | Visual Developer

Hello! I am Joana Afonso (1989), a portuguese illustrator with a PhD in Drawing at FBAUL, where I have been teaching for 10 years. I work as a professional illustrator since 2010 (more or less).

 

Yes, I've been drawing since I was little, but it's been since I drew the comic "The Waltz", which won the National Award for Best Comic, that I've been developing my work in comics, but also in illustration and visual development.

​

Since then, I have published several comic books, received nominations and awards, integrated national and international exhibitions and collaborated with publishers, papers, magazines and producers.

​

Things I like:

- Hikes (walk... a lot)

- Food (Eat&Cook) I also like to draw food
- Animals (specially my dog Tempo)

- Ride my bike

- Music

- Animation

- Creatures/Beasts
