about me
Hi! I'm Pilar (you may know me as Suzume, too). I'm an illustrator, graphic designer and character designer from Madrid, Spain. Sometimes I do crafts too!!I've studied illustration and graphic design (including motion graphics and web design). I was drawing and illustration teacher for several years and now I work as freelancer for several projects such as private commissions, game jams or brand design.I love to share my work process on Twitch, where I've been creating content since 2018. On my channel I teach and comment my drawings and crafts and spend some time chatting with viewers.As I said, parallel to my main illustration and design work, I make crafts with polymer clay and epoxy, this includes figures, boxes, mechanical keycaps...If you're interested in working with me, you can email me to psuzumeartist@gmail.com

Adventurers Project
I’ve been creating this group of adventurers for a while. They are heroines, beast hunters and explorers. They love each other very much, they care for, support and protect each other.From left to right:
-Matilda, druid, and her dead sister Amanita (the hand)
-Yenna, beast hunter
-Sarah, She thinks she's a bard, but she truly is a barbarian
-Dina, paladinClick on images to see them full size
Anjana
Corporate image development for the hypothetical "Anjana" restaurant, inspired by sustainable and ecological cuisine and the Cantabrian tradition.I opted for a hand drawn logo to represent the idea of nature and freedom. The orange and turquoise colors give a lot of power to the corporate image, also adding that modern and casual touch that was sought for "Anjana".The logo has calculated measurements and the colors an exact pantone. Everything was collected in its own corporate manual, although I have selected the most outstanding applications of all the work to show them here.Click on images to see them full size
