Illustrator
Hi!
I am Natalia Scabuso, but I like to be called Naty, I am a professional Illustrator, born and residing in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina.
I was born on December 15, 1990, since I can remember I love to draw, my mother always asked me what she wanted to be when she grew up, and I always answered “make drawings”. I am a faithful admirer of children’s and youth illustration.
I really love creating cute and colorful illustrations for children’s books! I have a passion for bright colors, textures, and details!
Transmitting a world of emotions in illustrations is what I am most passionate about in my day to day.
In these years I have made illustrations for children’s books of different ages, covers, games, letters, freelance, editorial and, also, my own projects. I am always thinking of new ideas to create new books and looking for new opportunities.
When I’m not drawing I really like to move my body, travel, enjoy nature and friends! Obviously all these plans include my dog Groot!
