Valentine’s Day is one of Alberto’s favorite holidays. It’s a day to celebrate love in all of its forms, regardless if it’s romantic, platonic, or familial. Alberto has always been interested in the relationships between people, and as such, he’s always found a way to celebrate it in the years he’s spent drawing.

Last year, Alberto made his very first comic about Trucy and Pearl. This year, Alberto decided to instead to full illustration involving the two and their love for each other. He spent a lot of time trying to find the right kind of shading, and he found a lot of success in blending different colors and shades while adding a light red filter to give the characters a similar color to the piece’s background.
