Feedbacks
I was going to this illustration camp with an objective of expanding my personal horizon, enhancing my performance and understanding what I wanted to do next, where to grow. While eventually I got a lot more, way more. Communicating with interesting, talented people, a great team, new friends, and 8 angles to look from in each task.
This was not just a trip, or just an illustration camp, but it was a little life! Every day there was a new challenge, every day I was happy about being in Barcelona, with these beautiful, talented people around me, with the sun and the sea, and I was happy to  — once again, many years later, — dive into drawing.
