Please give a warm welcome to artist Carol Marques

°

Tell us a bit about yourself

°

Well, I’m a Brazilian artist. I am 23 years old. And I always liked beautiful and artistic things.

°

Have you always wanted to become a designer/artist?

°

No. Initially I wanted to be an architect. I started my studies but I ended up losing interest along the way. Parallel to this my twin sister graduated in graphic design and see her in this course interested me a lot. So after her training I started to want to learn from her. And after learning I started to work in the area of graphic design.

°

Where do you find inspiration for your work?

°

I always try to keep abreast of trends and I’m very interested in digital illustration. I always look for sites with good references of covers, illustrations and photographs.

°

What are you working on now?

°

Currently I work with Book Covers, Premades and Custom. I have my group on facebook since July last year.

°

Do you have any quirks while working?

°

I do not think so. Apart from the fact that I love working at dawn. I am much more productive throughout the night than in the morning.

°

Do you have any advice for new artists about the publishing world?

°

I believe the basics but that is essential. Be truthful, honest. Seek to do your best and always improve the skills. Support other artists and authors. Always be humble.

°

What are your hopes for the future?

°

Produce high quality results. Impress my clients. And always support and help those who are starting.

°

Do you have anything to say to your fans?

°

I do not think I have fans yet. But I thank all the authors who supported me from the beginning. I have eternal gratitude for the first author who decided to buy a cover of mine. I always want to keep that gratitude for each one. I wish the best for both authors and artists. May our community grow without rivalry. But with understanding, mutual support and high quality!
