Luis Peres - Freelance illustrator - Children books and fantasy art

Looking for drawing tutorials or
searching for how to draw lessons ?
Well, i hope you´ll find this area of
my illustration website useful and fun.

The goal is not to stage some kind of
Master Art Class, but simply to show
you how I do my children book illustrations
or freelance illustration work in general.

The idea is to let people know how i use
my illustration style and i hope this
drawing lessons will give you the boost
you need to try and create some drawings
yourself. It´s really not that complicated.
There´s plenty you can do with very simple
things and develop your own graphic style wich
is something i hope i can help you with, by sharing
how I do my toon illustrations and fantasy landscapes.

Contact Me with your project’s needs and details if you enjoy the drawings and book illustrations on this site and you´re looking for a professional children´s book illustrator as I look forward to working for you too.

Learn to add that beautiful background to your drawings and create that scenery you seem never to be able to render properly no matter how hard you try.
No more of that ! After this tutorial you´ll understand the basics of what you need to start creating your own landscape, scenery worlds or fantasy illustrations.

About the tutorials

This area is meant to give you some tips and point the way to help you develop perhaps those hidden skills that you´re not putting to use.
My objective with these how to draw tutorials, is not to teach you the only way to do things but mainly to show you how i create my illustrations.
There are dozens of diferent drawing and illustration techniques out there. These are just mine and the way I like to create my stuff.

Initialy my idea was to post some generic drawing tutorials but as i found out that the internet is covered with those i´m going to give you specific examples about the making-of of my own pics.
Perhaps by learning how I do it, you´ll discover that illustrating children´s books or learning how to draw is not that dificult after all and you can do it too.

If you have any questions or want to request any particular drawing tutorial not covered on this area please feel free to contact me with requests and sugestions.

My SKETCHBOOK
Drafts, roughs, color tests, character designs, comics sketches, book covers drafts, line art stuff and all the doodles you can think of. Or at least, the few I find the time to post here, because actualy... I have hundreds of sketches spread around and lots to show you. This area will be updated regulary. ;)

If you´re looking for completed works then it´s my Illustration Gallery you want instead of these sketches.
