Nataliette goes back in time…

Ola OIC! This is my very first post on here… so pardon any awkwardness please?

I’m Nataliette and I’m a designer who likes to draw. I do mainly digital illustrations as I seldom like to get my hands dirty, but occasionally I do enjoy rubbing charcoal on paper. My most revered idols would be Salvador Dali and Oscar Wilde.

Here’s some of my old work done during artschool and secretly doodling when I was supposed to be listening to my lecturers…

DESPERATION FOR A MUSE by nataliette. charcoal on paper, 2005.

RE CYCL ED LOVE by nataliette. markers and ink on sketchbook, 2006.

THEY WERE CRYING WHEN THEIR SONS LEFT by nataliette. ink on sketchbook, 2006.

REACHING FOR THE COOKIE JAR by nataliette, 2007. pencil and ink on sketchbook.

Sometimes when I feel jaded or completely uninspired, I like to flip through my old sketchbooks and kind of travel back in time to reopen the eyes of that naivete and enthusiastic younger artist in me.

My recent artistic ventures are much much different from those now (and I realise, quite sadly, that these are much less varied).
Here are some little samples.

You can see more of my work in my portfolio or at my blog. Pleased to meet you!

Happy Happy Neu Year~

A gift for a friend, did a new year’s mix+cover for her.
Happy New Year, OIC!

Figure Drawing From OIC Experiment Day

15 minute sketch. Pencil on cartridge paper

Been almost a decade since i went back to figure drawing session.
Must admit i was a little bit rusty at first, proved to be really good practice.
Here’s my take on the figure drawing, hope i don’t have to wait long for another session.
Big thanks to Drewscape for organizing the event.
