Lucía The Luchadora is coming!

For the past few months I've been working with the fabulous team at POW! Kids Books in Brooklyn on Cynthia Garza's story called Lucía The Luchadora. I'm so excited to show Lucía to the world. She is feisty and full of flare! Here is a sneak peek into my process from watercolour pieces to digital completion. Lucía's reveal will come later.

Abuela's house is full of fascinating history and colourful objects!
