About me

Matilda Saari

Who am I?

I’m a self-taught illustrator and author from Finland.
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, and currently I create art mainly for my own enjoyment. I’m particularly interested in storytelling through both images and words, as well as character design. At the moment I am illustrating various personal projects, working on my own webcomic and casually creating art-centric YouTube videos ranging from speedpaints to short animatics. 

I aim my art to be dynamic, detailed and atmospheric – using color, contrast, texture and shapes in intriguing ways. Big inspirations for me are illustrators from my own childhood, such as Tove Jansson with her black-and-white ink works.
