Drawing from Observation for Beginners

Alvaro Arteaga, better known as Alvarejo, is a graphic designer with a passion for illustration. After studying graphic design at the University of Chile, he began to professionally promote his illustrations on Threadless, which provided him with a platform to showcase his art and quickly led to commissioned work. Since then, he's been collaborating with brands in advertising, publishing, and other similar fields.

Over a decade ago, Alvaro discovered that he was also passionate about helping others overcome their fear of the blank page and started teaching illustration, drawing, and design at the University of Santiago, Chile. Throughout his career, he has worked on packaging, publishing, and advertising projects for companies like Puma, Converse, Jeep, and Nestlé.
