I love this. It reminds me of when I was little in school, and my teacher would read us all of the classic stories. To be young with a wonderfully supported imagination was just amazing.

Bored Panda reached out to Sergio to learn more about him and his creative process. The illustrator, who professionally works as a high school teacher in Zaragoza, Spain, shared that illustration is not his sole dedication. "For me, it's a second activity that I really enjoy. In fact, my cartoons are closely related to education and children."

    A starter child. Nothing wrong with some prep time before breeding.

    Sergio shared that he began his artistic journey by drawing cartoons related to sports, eventually leading to the publication of a book. He explained, "Since then, I have been shifting towards the theme of education. While I've experimented with oil painting, it proved time-consuming, and I find digital illustration much simpler and easier to pick up," he added.

    Sergio finds inspiration in his surroundings, with a particular passion for contemplating how to translate ideas into drawings. He shared, "I make many sketches in a notebook that I always carry with me; transferring it neatly and publishing it is the next step and the one that costs me the most. I love it when my drawings are liked and help people to open discussions and talk about education."

    Watching my favorite TV show (D20, a live action RPG with improv comedians) has sparked my imagination like nothing else. Every form of media can be value or trash - and can spark intelligence and creativity.

    If I had a do-over I would make the bedtime and morning routine consistent throughout the year. It doesn't have to be me, but the kiddo definitely. Spent so much time trying to fix sleep and wake schedules and took a lot of effort to keep it up. Not worth it.
