You don’t need to be “born an artist” to create drawings you love
When I first started with digital art, I thought I needed fancy tools or some kind of secret talent.
The truth? All you really need is curiosity, practice, and a little guidance.
Stylized drawing isn’t about being perfect, it’s about experimenting, stretching proportions, playing with shapes, and discovering a style that feels like you.
That’s why I created this course. Inside, I’ll share the exact process I use to take a simple reference and transform it into a playful, expressive character. Together, we’ll go from the basics to a polished final render, with plenty of space for practice and exploration.
You don’t have to figure it out alone, I’ll be right here, walking you through each step.
By the end, you’ll have the tools, confidence, and inspiration to bring your imagination to life in your own colorful way.
GET STARTED
Hello, I’m Natália!
I’m a Brazilian 2D artist who creates characters and illustrations for games and digital media. My passion is bringing characters to life through expression, anatomy, and color.
Over the years, I’ve developed a workflow in Procreate that makes portrait drawing more approachable and fun, while still keeping the depth and detail that make characters feel real.
In my work, I combine anatomy, gesture, and storytelling to build characters that connect with people. Every brushstroke is about capturing personality and emotion, not just technical skill.
In this course, I’ll guide you step by step — from the basics of anatomy to the final painted portrait — so you can create your own characters with confidence and style.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY:
"Natalia Dias guides you step-by-step to create an illustration, from anatomy to precise lines and colors. It's very easy to follow her method and replicate it to create different illustrations."
Cecy Serrano
"It's very detailed, many resources are provided, the narrator is friendly, thank you!"
Nilufer Cal
"A very complete and interesting course for gaining a better understanding of how to create our own designs!
We can also better understand how to proceed with the order of the layers to be colored.
Thank you Natalia for this well-prepared course!"

"Natalia is an excellent teacher. She explains and teaches from various perspectives: sketching, anatomy, composition, color, etc. I look forward to new courses to continue learning."

"This course was wonderful. I felt great taking it with Natalia Dias. After having eye surgery, I lost a lot of my visual capacity, and with her precise guidance and high professional quality, I felt confident enough to start again. Thank you for the guidance and the ease of use of the platform. I'm recovering every day."
Ulisses Torraga Miranda Bruno
"The teacher is highly qualified and skilled in illustration. She gives a good explanation of how to paint hair, and the result is amazing! It's an interesting course for those who appreciate the teacher's aesthetic style."
