Illustrator Gallery - Udayana Lugo

Udayana Lugo

• I was
  born in Russia, but grew up in Mexico City. I can’t remember a time when I
  haven’t been drawing.

  I studied
  product design because I thought I would draw a lot. Life took me from Mexico
  to Italy, back to Mexico, then to the UK, and finally to Western Canada, where
  I currently reside with my husband and two kids.

  It was in
  England that I decided I wanted to become an illustrator. I did on-line classes,
  and tons of practice in my home studio. I keep a sketchbook with me and draw things
  that catch my attention, mostly people or animals. I use a variety of
  traditional media, and my sketchbooks smell of hairspray, which I use to fix my
  drawings.

  I am an
  avid reader. I devour historical fiction, and can’t resist a whodunit. I also
  have a vast picture book collection, which I pass as my children’s personal
  library.
