Hi, I’m Naomi, a 27 years old digital artist from Indonesia.
“Here’s a little bit of my story”
In 2016, I was just a bored college student studying Economics—a world away from the art I create today. I remember sitting in the back of a lecture hall, pencil in hand, doodling a models portrait at the last pages of my book. Here’s a picture I drew at that time. This was Kendall Jenner btw.

“SURROUND YOURSELF WITH SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE”
When I showed it to the friends sitting next to me, their reaction changed everything and I remember they said “hey it’s so good, almost look like the actual person” - which actually not really I think XD. And the other said, “wow, you have an art style”. I was very very proud. That small spark of encouragement was all I needed.
My family was also very supportive. So the day after, I bought cheap white paper, and cut it in half to make my own DIY sketchbooks. Because that was the cheapest way possible a broke colleague could afford :D. Now that I think about it, I’d say that I was pretty creative though.
Being a "broke student" taught me my first lesson in art:
“Creativity isn't about the tools you have, but the passion and patience you put into them.”
But most importantly I’m very thankful to have friends and family that are very supportive of what I do. The next thing I do is I spent every free moment drawing.
“BE CURIOUS - START AND GROW”
Day by day, months by months, my drawings started to get better, I moved from those DIY notebooks to A3 sketchbooks. I watched drawing tutorials on youtube, I followed the artist’ social media, learn new techniques and bought new drawing tools using my savings. We didn’t have an art shop in my hometown so I bought it from an online marketplace. I heard that art shop is like heaven for artist and yes that’s true.
(These are my drawings from February 2017)
“Consistency is the key”



Then I start exploring other medium such as watercolor and oil paint, I immediately fall in love from the first stroke I made.





So, when I got an iPad and Apple Pencil in 2019 as New Year’s gift, I brought that "traditional heart" with me. A life changing in my journey! Lucky that I was started as traditional artist so I didn’t find it hard to start off as a digital artist.


My greatest strength as a digital artist is my foundation in traditional paint. I knew how water should bleed, how pigment should settle, and how texture should feel.
Art has been a huge part of my life and I’m here to share my journey and everything that I have learn with you!!
Let’s create something beautiful together.
Love
Naomi
