Hello!
My name is Nathanna Érica and I'm an illustrator and paper artist based in São Paulo, Brazil. Most of my life has been defined by early animation movies, and I grew up wishing that someday I'd be able to be a part of what I love the most about the animation industry: storytelling. It's safe to say that I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil and even before that my mom would get me to eat by distracting me with drawing lessons, so, yes, it comes without saying that I love to draw. I can't imagine my life without art, and having graduated from Law school a few years ago made me see that doing anything else other than being an artist would be really difficult.
My work focuses mainly on illustration, visual development and character design.
