Hola!

They enjoy drawing people (whether real or fictional), creating characters and telling stories whether their own or somebody else’s.

When they’re not focused on drawing, you can find them enjoying their other interests: watching media (mostly anime and YouTube videos), reading (mostly comics), photography, walking their dog Chico, playing video games, baking,… (Michi has A LOT of interests)
