With a dedication to creating a lighthearted escape from negativity, Andrés has turned his passion into a career.

Reflecting on the evolution of his art style, Andrés shared, “Everything influences my art! Places, people I meet, other artists, my family. My comics have become a bit cleaner with time and more focused to fit the ‘Visual Hug’ concept.” This shift in style aligns perfectly with the gentle, uplifting tone that characterizes his work.RELATED:When discussing the challenges he faced early on, he recalled, “When I was first starting this project, I didn’t know how to combine humor with design. I loved both, but it was a challenge, and still is. The thing that has helped me the most is practice, practice, practice. I used to create three comics per day because I really wanted to get better at this, and I knew there wasn’t a secret formula or shortcut to making comics.”As for the most rewarding aspects of being a comic artist, the artist noted to us, “I get to do what I love, and my office is in my home, so I spend lots of time with my family. Having short and long-term goals pushes me and my wife (we work together) to work hard with a goal in mind. We have so many ideas for Wawawiwa!”Offering advice to aspiring artists, Andrés emphasized the importance of perseverance: “Be consistent and don’t expect it to be fast or easy. I used to wake up at 3 AM to brainstorm ideas and make comics because it was clear to me it was something I really wanted to do for a living.”See Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored Panda
