My name is Nora García, also known as Nordeva
About
I consider myself as a self-taught digital artist. I live in the North coast of Spain, a really pretty place with beautiful landscapes and rainy weather. Overall I’m a frank, laid-back 19-year-old girl who can’t stand wasting time.
As for my work, my biggest passion is drawing animals and #fantasy creatures.

2015 Art Summary by Nordeva
How you come in painting/art field
I started drawing when I was very little, and didn’t ever stop since then. I got my tablet when I was 13 and started to draw a lot of dragons and cute characters. Now that I’m 19, I’m aiming to work for the #illustration, #animation or game design industry.
Which is your first art work
I honestly don’t remember…
How much time you spend in a week
I’m currently an student, so I can’t draw as much as I’d like. However, I try to spend at least one hour per day on weekdays and three hours on the weekend.
Tools of work
My main tool right now is #Photoshop. I love creating and using my own brushes.
Do you have qualified degree in relevant field?
Not yet, I’m working my way to get an #Illustration title.
What you do other activities in daily life
I like going out for walks alone, listening to my own music. I often go hiking during summer holidays, and in winter I tend to stay at home and play relaxing videogames.
Currently are you working with any company or freelancing
Not yet, I was an #illustrator for ABCme Books for 6 months, but once the project was completed I started to do my own commission work.
A message for newer designers/artists
Always be ready to learn new things and accept critiques. It’s very important to listen to other opinions. Stay inspired!
Your inspired artists
