Who am I?
Hello! I’m Natalia, an artist at heart living in Granada (Spain). With a degree in Fine Arts and over a decade of professional experience in illustration and graphic design, I can proudly say that art has been in my blood since I can remember. A few years ago, I was honored as the winner of the international Illustrators of the Future contest, an achievement that fills me with joy and drives me to continue exploring new creative frontiers.
My illustrations have brought pages of books to life and have been part of exciting projects that go beyond the borders of imagination.

The Process
Want to learn how it works? Here are the main steps I follow:
1.
Initial Consultation
To start, I need you to immerse me in your thoughts and dreams. Tell me everything necessary: from detailed descriptions to reference images.
If you have a deadline, let me know! I’ll do my best to adapt my schedule to deliver your custom illustration on time.
2.
Sketches
Here is where the magic begins! I’ll send you 2–3 sketches, on which you can suggest changes to character poses, elements, or their location to further personalize your illustration. It’s essential that you share your thoughts clearly and in detail to ensure that results meet what you have in mind.
3.
Drawing and Color Tests
After the sketch approval, I’ll work on creating a more defined drawing to which I’ll add color roughs (or value roughs in the case of monochrome illustrations). Once again, I’ll send you this version for approval. At this stage, you can still request small changes like adding accessories or adjusting the color palette.
4.
Final Illustration
Once you’re delighted with the drawing and colors, it’s time to take your vision to the next level! I’ll proceed to create the final personalized illustration and send you a low–resolution file for review and approval. This is the perfect time to suggest small adjustments if necessary! Your opinion is crucial to ensure that every detail is to your liking and that the illustration brings a smile to your face.
Professionalism
I work on each and every one of my illustrations with care, paying attention to every detail to create works that are not only visual but also convey emotions and stories. My goal is always to exceed expectations!
Hand-drawn
I don’t use artificial intelligence; the hands will have just the right amount of fingers!
Customization
You’ve read about how I work above. Thanks to this process, organized into different steps, we’ll work hand in hand to create a completely personalized illustration. I’ll maintain communication at all times and address any questions that may arise, leaving no loose ends.
Timely delivery
Once your order has begun, I commit to delivering it on the agreed-upon date. My experience has given me the skills to organize my time and work to meet deadlines.
I only accept a limited number of monthly projects to dedicate the attention that each one deserves. So, if you have a date in mind, secure your place on my list of orders as soon as possible!

How long will it take to receive my illustration?
This depends on several factors, including the complexity of the order and the other projects I’m working on. As a general rule, I usually follow these times:
- One week for initial sketches.
- One week for the drawing, plus another for you to give me your feedback and apply it to the drawing.
- One week for the color sketch and your feedback.
- Two weeks for the final work.
However, if you need the order by a certain date, we can discuss it without any problem to adjust my schedule as much as possible.
I like your ink/watercolor work, can I commission that?
Sure, just let me know in the form. Take into account I cannot work larger than A4 and that there’ll be an additional shipping time after completion.
Will you start working on my order as soon as you receive it?
It depends on how busy my schedule is. Whenever possible, I’ll start as soon as I receive the first payment. But don’t worry, as we’ll discuss this beforehand.
