My name is Sofia Tognoli, 26. I'm an Architect and currently a Visual Arts student. I also work as a freelance illustrator and 3D rendering artist.
Biography
I'm a 90s kid, born in 1995 in São Paulo, Brazil. At a very young age I knew that I would work with illustration or animals, or even both. My life became a little bit different from what I planned, because specially in Brazil, being an artist is still not considered as a "real job". So at that time, I listened to my parents and got a degree in Architecture. But I didn't like it to be an architect at all.
After getting my architect degree, I took my time to focus and study really hard the aspects and techniques you need to become an illustrator, and decided I would be working with what I love, no matter what it would cost me. So now, while I still work on the Architecture field as a 3D rendering artist, I'm taking classes on a Visual Arts college and a couple of other drawing and painting courses at the same time to improve my art and focus on making my dream come true. While I'm creating my own comic book, I recently took my first steps and started to illustrate for some small clients, working as a color artist for an indie comic, illustrating for children books and working as a cartoonist for two brazilian newspapers. They all have a special place in my heart because they're patient and believe in my potential.
Also, I never really stopped loving animals, so what I had to do was to put them all in my drawings. Animals makes everyone feel a little better in this world.
