Here are some of the illustrations I have done for The Guardian over the last year. I have the good fortune to collaborate with them on a regular basis and the experience has made me grow a lot as an illustrator. I share with you the work process I have with them because I think it's enriching to see how an idea becomes a drawing. I hope you like them!
