As a professional, Manuel Morales has been creating artwork for more than nineteen years.
Morales works in both traditional and digital mediums.
When working with traditional media, Morales prefers to work with lacquer paints poured onto a masonite board for his backgrounds. Then he proceeds to airbrush the image onto the background and then finishes the painting in oils. The transition to digital media required that Morales' style be consistent regardless of the medium. After learning the power and flexibility that this new creative tool lends, Morales now creates all of his commercial assignments digitally. Working digitally allows Morales to create not only illustrations for print, but also create multimedia splash screens and images for the web.
