Jaime Sanjuán is a digital designer, illustrator, and painter. He studied fine art at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, where he learned traditional artistic techniques such as oil painting, pastels, clay modeling, etc. However, he decided to swap his brushes and studio for an iPad and the Procreate app, which give him the possibility to explore countless techniques without needing much space and using only his fingers.
Jaime has always been fascinated by realist and hyperrealist painting. It's this aesthetic that he always seeks in his paintings and illustrations, which are full of double meanings and impossible realities. This very particular vision and a highly refined technique have earned him international recognition such as the Communication Arts Award, the American Illustration Award, and the Latin American Illustration Award, enabling him to see his work exhibited in galleries and museums around the world.

As can be seen in his illustrations, Jaime is an illustrator who is enthusiastic about realism. In this course he explains, with great generosity, his working method, the result of deep and keen observation and countless hours of work. Some of its lessons, such as those regarding lighting, can be applicable to any other style of illustration. If what you are looking for, or need, is to work on a project with a realistic style, this is certainly an excellent course.
