6 weeks online character design course!!

Hello everybodyyy! Today I'm SO happy to share these news with you: I'm going to be teaching a 6 weeks online character design course with the awesome school @warriorartcamp!! The classes will be weekly on Saturdays (+ mid-week feedback sessions) starting on the 25th of March until the 29th of April. There will be theory classes, pre-recorded demos and live feedback sessions with all the students! ONLY 12 spots will be available so I can focus more personally on each student and the registrations open today (Tuesday 31st of January) at 20:00 (GMT) / 12:00 (PT)! 

I'm especially hyped about this one because the duration of my previous workshops that were focused on character design was always around a week time but this is the first time that I'm doing such a lengthy one! 🤩 This way I think the students are going to have way more time and room to explore and develop their characters and portfolios and I can't wait to be there at each step of the process.

Walk on girl

Hiii everybody and happy lunar year! I was super inspired by a pic from @watchingnewyork and had to draw her immediately!

I've also posted a break down of my creative process on my Patreon if you're curious to check it out (link in my bio). Huggos!

 

Come as you are 🎶

 

Neon rabbits

Trying out the neon Holbein gouache for the first time for this month’s Patreon originals and it’s SO bright I can’t believe it! I’m loving this experimentation time. Happy year of the rabbit!

"Christmas comes to Moominvalley" (03/03)

Last Moomin post featuring some expressions, poses and design options for Moomin and his family! Thanks so much again to the whole Gigglebug team for making this lovely short film possible and to Jean-Michel Boesch for being such an awesome and trusting director! :D You can watch it as part of the Nordic Christmas Tales on the Nordic TV channels.

"Christmas comes to Moominvalley" (02/03)

Alongside the Moomin family there were some little mousy creatures appearing in this Christmas shortfilm. It was super fun to design these cute and curious beings while exploring their surroundings :3
