About
My Story
Chupadoodles started in 2020 where on a whim, I bought an iPad and as I started drawing, my love for art rekindled. Hi there! I’m Natasha, the artist behind Chupadoodles. When I first started, I mostly drew cute doodles inspired by my everyday life. Some of my doodles included Animal Crossing and drawing my sister’s dogs. Here are some of my early doodles.
My first character, Chupa, was heavily inspired by my sister’s dog, Pepper! Pepper likes to eat, sleep & avoids going for walks. Subsequently, I added more characters to Chupadoodles inspired by more of my pets & my own personal experiences. Currently, Chupadoodles has 6 characters & they all have their own distinct personalities! Find out all their names below.
In 2020, I mostly made all my items but in 2021 and 2022, I took the leap & outsourced the production of some of my designs. These were items which were difficult for me to make from home like my All-In-One Kawaii Notebook (a successful Kickstarter Project), planner notepads, washi tape, stickers and keychains. However, now about 90% new designs are now made in-house - meaning they are made, packaged and packed from my home or studio. I’ve chosen this route so that I am able to make more designs and develop more types of items for you.
Currently, I draw my characters in cute themes like in different aesthetics and draw them in crossovers with pop culture series. Chupadoodles consists of mainly original art but I do draw fan art occasionally too! I also am passionate about supporting student communities and have provided stickers and stationery to active student clubs in Melbourne. I hope you enjoyed reading my story. Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or queries.
Lots of love,
Natasha & the Chupadoodles Family!
