Hey, I'm Edgar Covarrubias and I'm a freelancing illustrator and comic artist. I have 10+ years of experience at using Adobe Photoshop to digitally paint and draw most of my art work. I've been doing freelance work since 2012 and I have experience in working with comics, book covers, and board games. I also have 2 years of experience working at a design and marketing firm where I was responsible for making graphics and logos for web and print. I'm particularly keen at making sure all the art I produce is ready for print. I believe communication is the most important aspect when it comes to working with clients. After all, a successful project depends on everyone being on the same page. Enthusiasm is also an important factor and I often get excited when I'm part of a new project. In short, I enjoy connecting with people and I want to make sure they know that I'm there to listen, understand, and communicate so we can work towards the set goal.
