I was comissioned to create a double page illustration for a educational book in which should appear animals natural of the brazilian sea. The digital painting needed to honor the reality and transmit to the students how each animal looks like.
Created in exuberant and vibrant colors, the challeging composition must fit the text and give good readibility to it.

Fui contratado para criar uma ilustração de página dupla para um livro didático no qual deveriam aparecer animais naturais do mar brasileiro. A pintura digital precisava honrar a realidade e transmitir aos alunos como cada animal realmente é.
Criada em cores lindas e vibrantes, a composição desafiadora devia se adequar ao texto e dar boa legibilidade a ele.
