Autistic Tomato
“I like drawing creatures and sci-fi stuff. I think about who they are and what their story is.”
Bio
Autistic Tomato has loved drawing for as long as he can remember. Inspired by science fiction, fantasy, creatures, and storytelling, he creates original characters and imaginative worlds shaped by detailed backstories and transformation. Manuel enjoys exploring the personalities and histories behind the creatures he invents, often creating unusual forms that move beyond traditional anatomy and realism.
He primarily works in graphite pencil, markers, and digital coloring using Photoshop, combining traditional drawing with digital techniques. His work often reflects his interest in monsters, sci-fi environments, and imaginative beings that feel both strange and emotional. Manuel is also interested in sculpture and hopes to continue experimenting with cardboard construction and three-dimensional forms.
