Challenge: Drawing Elsa from Frozen in 1 Minute

Illustrator Natália Dias faces the challenge of drawing Frozen character Elsa in just 1 minute

Illustrator Natália Dias’s (@nataliadsw) career is inspiring and unusual: before becoming a professional artist, she studied History and completed her master's degree in Fashion History, all while drawing in her free time. It was through publishing her illustrations on Instagram that she received worldwide attention and found a career in art. Her influences range from Disney princesses to artists like Alphonse Mucha and Loish (@loisvb). In addition, movements like Art Nouveau have played an essential role in inspiring her creative process.

In this Domestika Challenge, we asked Natália to draw the character Elsa, from Frozen, at three different speeds, drawing her in: 10 minutes, 5 minutes, and 1 minute. Could she manage it?! Watch the video below to see the results:
