Pedro Lara, The Best Graphic Artist In Costa Rica

-Pedro Lara-

Before we go any further, lets start with the basics, so if you don't know what exactly is a Graphic Artist, let me give you a brief explanation. Graphic art is basically the production of a design on a medium or materials in order to transfer the image(s) and/or make an impression/print to the materials of choice, so a Graphic Artist would be an individual versed on this activities.

Now that we are on the same page, lets move on!

Fantasy and Fiction novels, comics, video games and other media owe a lot of their popularity to "pencil masters" such as Mr. Pedro Lara, who is without a doubt one of the best young talents in the American Continent. With experience handling comic books covers, layout, and conceptual design; he has work on several projects sharpening his creative skills along the way.

And its been a long and entertaining trip!

I have had the honor to work with Mr Pedro Lara on several projects, since comic book contests and creative reviews for other graphic artists, to conceptual art for video games and other projects.(And soon you will be witness to his skills right here in this Blog.)

When I asked him about any good advice he could provide to new artists, he smiled and adjusting his lens for a second he said:
"For me drawing is like practicing a sport, you have to train every day in order to be good at what you do. All you have to do is draw everyday and keep true to your own style"

In a world market full of  "Pseudo Manga Artists" it is refreshing to see real pencil masters coming up with their own look and style, and that is perhaps one of the most notorious trademarks from Pedro Lara; who has always kept a unique blend of art made 100% in Costa Rica for the rest of the world to see.
