HI! I'M EGO,

I’m a professional illustrator, and over the years, I’ve worked on book covers, comics, editorials, and portraits for clients like HarperCollins and DC Comics. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a personal style centered on light, clarity, and emotional presence. My approach isn’t about replicating reality—it’s about simplifying what you see, deciding what matters, and using light and color to bring a sense of life to your work.

In my course, I’ll guide you through the core ideas and techniques I use every day—how to see form, break down light, and build portraits that feel expressive and intentional. We’ll look at my influences, my process, and how I balance stylization with clarity. You’ll learn to make the right choices for your own style and to say more with less.

Whether you’ve seen my work in Chroma or Lux—my two art books exploring bold color and quiet narrative—or you’re completely new to it, this course is about giving you tools that you can make your own. Let’s explore how to use light, emotion, and storytelling to create portraits with presence.
