Hello and let's get this party started! (: - ManoelaCosta - 12-17-2015
Hello guys! I've heard about this forum on a podcast and in a short time again during an interview with an artist I admire very much. So, it took me a few days until I actually came here and signed u, but I'm very impressed with everything I've seem on this forum, it feels like this is one amazing community! Congratulations on everybody's efforts and I hope I can be of any help here!
My name's Manoela and I'm a Brazilian freelance digital artist. I''m graduated in graphic design and I've been in love with illustration from a very early age, and 2 years ago I've started working as a fulltime freelance illustrator. It's not always easy for me to keep up with my bills here in Brazil, but I was very impressed at first at how this was actually POSSIBLE. So yeah, always have a backup plan, but do take a shot at your dreams, I guess. I do have the support of my family too, both emotional and ( if I ever need to rely to that) financial.
Currently, I work with analogic games (mostly card games) and editorial illustration (mostly for book covers and inside illustrations). Most of my work is based on fantasy illustration, and I work my best to improve at this field so that in the future I can work mainly with that.
I try to always study, sometimes with some nice online courses such as the Magic Box (Oatley Academy) of with Schoolism (thank you Bobby Chiu!), but sometimes I do come up with my own personal projects and self tough lessons. This is the folder where I generally post my studies:

Welcome, get to meet you.
I really like Oxsana, the Living-Mana and the Scroll Seller paintings.
