Drawing was one of my favorite amusements when I was a child, so my parents took me into drawing classes, when I was 8. It was a short time, but it encouraged me to keep drawing and eventually gave me the confidence to study the career of Graphic Design in the local University (UANL) some years later. And there I knew about illustration, and then it hit me: I found WHAT I wanted to do with my life! It took me a while to find the way, but it was worthwhile.
