Illustrator and character designer Orlando Arocena is from New York, where he studied at the Pratt Institute.

Arocena works primarily in vector art, creating his striking illustrations in Adobe Illustrator with a Wacom tablet.

His Behance portfolio features lots of process step-throughs, showing the paths in both line and fill mode. You can also find a process article on the Wacom site.

The best way to quickly get a feeling for Arocena’s work, however, is through his portfolio on the site of his artists’ representative, Richard Solomon.

His Behance presence also includes some of his sketches in ballpoint and marker from museums, jazz clubs and public transit.
