Andrea A. Bianco

illustrator, concept artist, photographer, graphic & web designer



I think sharing what I learn is a great way for memorizing things and giving back to the online / offline community what I received; I created some tutorials which are available online in the form of PDF or blog posts. New ones will be added here.

From time to time I also write for various CG magazines, my latest published stuff being in Computer Grafica T&A and ImagineFX.

I'm currently working on a DVD about concept art & illustration with GIMP.
