Drawdrigo is an architect by profession and an artist by passion. While he spends most of his days designing buildings, his true love lies in creating comic book and manga illustrations. With a keen eye for detail and a talent for bringing characters to life, Drawdrigo spends much of his free time exploring different styles and techniques. His dream is to one day see his art gracing the pages of a comic book or on the cover of a graphic novel. When he’s not sketching or designing, Drawdrigo can be found lost in the pages of his favorite comic books, drawing inspiration from the greats who have come before him.
