Nicolás Amarilla uses 3D models for a little assistance to achieve a flawless composition
“This piece combines BMX culture and bold character design, blending urban energy with a dynamic, tiger-inspired twist. The tentacles were particularly challenging – they needed to feel alive while seamlessly framing the composition and enhancing the sense of motion in the scene. A big focus for me was creating a pose that pops off the page and conveys the character’s energy. I started off sketching the bike by hand, but later incorporated a 3D model as a reference to nail the angle and proportions accurately. It’s a great method for tackling tricky objects while keeping the artwork both sharp and dynamic.”
