Albertoyos

Biography
[edit]Alberto de Hoyos started as an amateur comic artist in the mid-eighties, and published his work in independent and alternative Spanish comic magazines in the nineties.
After majoring in Fine Arts at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, he began his career as a professional illustrator and designer. His versatile style enables him to work for all ages and in a variety of fields, such as press, advertising, children's and young adult literature, and also school textbooks.
He develops his most interesting work in digital painting, children's literature and young adult fiction, where, from a mixed technique, combining computer software, pencil, painting, engraving, watercolor and collage, it has evolved to a digital technique in which it discards the imitation of traditional tools and reduces expressive resources to more artificial digital effects and textures. He illustrates and designs books, cover art and collections for various publishing companies: Pearson International, Bayard, Oxford University Press, Editorial San Pablo (Spain), Edelvives (Spain).
As for press, he collaborates as illustrator and cover page artist for Spanish newspapers and magazines: ABC, Blanco y Negro, Nuevo Trabajo, Guía de Madrid...
As a school textbook illustrator he has worked for many publishers, both Spanish (Edelvives, Santillana, Anaya, Bruño, ESC, Almadraba, Richmond...) and international (Macmillan, Oxford University Press, Pearson Education, Kumon, Disney...). His work includes all school levels, from children's education up to high school. He has also illustrated the Spanish edition of Strawberry Shortcake (American Greetings) for editorial Bruño.[1]
Since 2018, he combines his professional work with education, teaching higher education courses in painting and digital illustration and comics.[2]
