Carlotta Notaro is an Italian freelance illustrator and animator who blends analogue and digital techniques in her work. She began drawing at a young age and experimented with various mediums, eventually learning Photoshop independently. After studying Illustration & Animation, she realized the importance of drawing freely without feeling pressured to convey a specific message. Carlotta now features her traditional sketches on her website, believing that speed rather than detail defines the difference between sketches and finished art. Her relationship with her sketchbook is complex and reflects her journey toward creative expression.
"I guess what differentiates a 'sketch' from a 'finished artwork' is simply the speed, not the level of detail. I consider most of those sketches finished as they are."
"I started exploring different mediums - pencils, watercolours, acrylics. As a teen, I taught myself how to use Photoshop by mashing random buttons."
