Self-Taught Artist Reimagines Cartoon Characters as Modern-Day Adults in These Amazing Illustrations

Self-taught digital artist Tatiana, better known online as TatiMoons, has been drawing plenty of attention with her striking reimaginations of beloved cartoon characters. At just 19, she has built a following for realistic illustrations that picture familiar animated favorites as modern-day adults.

She has been creating digital paintings since June 2016, but her interest in drawing started much earlier, when she was still a child. In a short time, her work has shown just how far that passion has taken her.
