About

Nelchee

That's me.
I'm a 22-year old electrical engineering student who often freelances as a web designer, and occasionaly as an illustrator.

Apart from art class in elementary school, I've never had any sort of training in art or design. I'm currently learning the fundamentals of human anatomy, but hopefully I'll do more perspective and lighning practice soon.

Cwtam

I'm sorry english speakers, but I can't teach you how to pronounce it. Cwtam is baby-talk for crtam which means "I'm drawing" in Croatian.

This blog is a repository for my sketches, studies and work in progress, anything that doesn't belong to my formal gallery. It is also an attempt to force myself to draw more, because seeing this website outdated should make me feel bad about it.

Everything you see on this site has been created by me, including the blogging tool. See how multitalented I am!
Right.
