Giovana Vescovi is an experienced artist and educator known for her work in pen and ink drawing. Giovana has gained widespread recognition for her distinctive style and expertise in the field, as well as for her online courses and tutorials on drawing and illustration.

At 17, she embarked on a journey to explore the possibilities of a creative career in advertising by studying marketing and social communications at Escola Superior de Propaganda e Marketing in So Paulo. However, after graduating, fueled by her love for drawing, she pursued a freelance career as an artist and graphic designer, which ultimately paved the way for her to become a drawing instructor and content creator. On social media platforms like Tiktok and Youtube, she is known as Artsygio, where she shares instructional and inspirational videos on art and drawing.
