Hello everyone! My name is Álvaro and I am drawn to the world of visual arts, encompassing not only storyboards but also character design and background art.

Biography

My name is Álvaro Aracil, and I'm passionate about the animation industry. My work focuses on Storyboard Art. I have a solid background from the Polytechnic University of Valencia and Gobelins Paris. My career has revolved around bringing stories to life through visual art. With significant experience at animation studios and branding companies, working on international film and advertising projects, I've honed my ability to translate ideas into impactful visual sequences. I'm a hardworker, detail-oriented, and a great team player. My creative tools include Photoshop, Storyboard Pro, Illustrator, and Clip Studio. My heart beats for the animation industry and music, two worlds that continually inspire me. Ready to breathe life into new adventures with each project!
