I loved both but it was a real challenge, and it still is. He went on to reveal the secret behind his improvement: practice. The thing that helped me the most was practice, practice, practice.

One of the most rewarding aspects of being a comic artist according to Andrés is the ability to do what he loves while staying close to his family. I work from home, so I get to spend a lot of time with my family, which is amazing. Having both short-term and long-term goals keeps me and my wife motivated. We’re constantly brainstorming new ideas for Wawawiwa and it pushes us to keep going.
