Hello I'm Joanna ! Since I was a tiny kid I always loved drawings. I always made friends with monsters: the monster under my bed, the monster in my closet. They always asked me to draw their portraits, so I did. They asked me to tell their stories. I was happy to help. And animation always seemed like the best way to do that: it is a perfect combination of art and movie making. Today I like to work both digitally and traditionally, and I like to work in a variety of styles. My monster friends approve.
In animation it is important to figure things out before you animate, and I will be right there with my team storyboarding and making a map for us artists.
It doesn't matter what style you're going for, from the most realistic to the truly cartooney, I can design it. I love the process of figuring out each character, their stories and I always try my best to convey it through my drawings.
The holy grail of giving life to drawings paintings and of course 3d models. Also my favorite thing to do in the world.
