I'm Tavo Montañez. I was born in 1984. I work from my hometown Aguascalientes, Mexico where I live with my wife and kids.
As freelance illustrator I am developing a particular style for representing portraits being driven by the work mostly for clients in editorial, but also publishing, advertising and film. My process for this main style usually involves drawing with pencil or ink on paper and digital coloring and often by creating fully digital illustrations.
In the other hand, and through the years I have experienced different challenges to adapt my style and process through the develop of black and white illustrations and character design asked for diverse mediums.
