Hello everyone! I go by the name of Zul and spawned into this world around 1997. I’m from Portugal, where I still reside. 

There’s nothing I love more in this world than creating art - painting and singing - and most of my work is fantasy-themed colorful portraits. Other than my Portfolio, you can check my work on Instagram and my Youtube channel.

The one thing I like the most about my work-flow, it’s how easily I can get inspired by any project or ideas. I’m good at putting ideas together, as well as finding solutions for the little problems that may appear along the way.

Experience

I graduated in graphic design, and I’ve also worked on a lot of side-projects over the years. Even though I come from a scientific background during high school, I’ve loved drawing and painting ever since I remember existing. My goal is to be able to achieve a career as a freelance artist someday. 

I have some experience in a lot of arts/design fields such as

  • illustration: this is the area I’m the most interested in and I’ve worked on several projects such as journalistic illustration, advertising illustration, scientific illustration, cartoons (…). The mediums I work with are very diverse, I like to paint with watercolors, Chinese ink, colored pencils, alcohol-based markers, oils, pens, digital.

  • tattoos: I’ve always liked tattoos a lot, so I invest part of my time into creating tattoo designs. I have a private studio where I tattoo in Braga (Portugal).

  • photography: I certainly don’t have as much experience at photography as I do at painting but I do take my camera everywhere I go, I believe it has it’s own powerful magic and I have a couple of works where I mixed photography with painting.

  • video (pre-production, production and post-production)

  • clothing design (designed several all-overs and cartoons for shirts)

  • branding (brand's visual identity, logos, office supplies)

  • coding (just the basics of HTML, CSS and javascript)

  • music! I can’t go by a single day without singing, I know how to play the basics of a couple of instruments. I’ve never done anything professionally on this field, but I do have a couple of covers uploaded on my Youtube channel.

I also have some experience with merchandise: I produce my own artprints, pins, stickers, etc, and I’ve participated in several conventions around my country!

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it (:
