About Me: A Self-Taught Artist on the Journey to Becoming a Character Designer

Hello! My name is Natalia and I specialize in visual development, concept art, character design, and illustration.

A little bit about me

I am a self-taught artist with a passion for bringing characters to life through my art. My artistic journey has been a thrilling ride filled with exploration, growth, and a burning desire to make a mark in the world of character design.

My artistic journey began as a child, I grew up on shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Danny Phantom, Spongebob, and many more. Seeing my favorite characters come to life on my parent’s old box tv inspired me to design characters in their world and make my own stories through art. As I grew older, my passion for art continued to evolve. I dabbled in various mediums, from pencil sketches to digital painting, constantly pushing myself to improve and refine my skills. I voraciously consumed art books, attended workshops, and sought inspiration from the world around me.

Self-teaching myself the art of character design has been both challenging and rewarding. It's a path that demands dedication, resilience and an unwavering commitment to personal growth. Every stroke of the brush, every line I draw, and every character I create is a testament to the countless hours I've poured into honing my craft.

My Creative Philosophy: Characters with a Purpose

Character design isn't just about creating visually stunning figures; it's about crafting individuals with depth, personality, and purpose. I believe that characters should tell stories with their presence, whether it's a hero embarking on an epic quest or a mischievous sidekick adding comic relief to the narrative. Each character I design is born from careful thought, and their design choices are a reflection of their unique personalities and roles within their respective worlds.

My ultimate goal is to contribute to the world of storytelling through character design. I dream of collaborating with writers, animators, game developers, and filmmakers to breathe life into the characters that inhabit their worlds. Whether it's a whimsical animated film, a gripping video game, or a captivating novel, I aspire to be the creative force behind the characters that audiences fall in love with.

Thank you for visiting my corner of creativity, and I look forward to sharing my passion for character design with you. Let's embark on this exciting journey together, one character at a time!
