Hey! I'm Aline Dutra, a yellow-lover illustrator who was born and raised in Nova Iguaçu (Rio de Janeiro), currently based in São Paulo - Brazil. Since I was a little human being, my parents noticed that art became an inseparable part of my existence, from reading picture books, watching cartoons, doodling everywhere and being mesmerized by movie's making ofs. Therefore, the "become an artist when I grow up" dream came up pretty easily. Unfortunately, in order to follow expectations, I tried to picture myself as a medical doctor, journalist, psychologist, archaeologist and many others professions that didn't have much to do with art at all. The ideia of working with animation seemed really far - since there was almost none formal educational brazilian options focused on this area. After finishing highschool at an early age, I felt like I was being thrown precosiously at the adult life, so I instantly enrolled at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro to study Education - since there's this little niche related to children's books and arts teaching - and I was a minor conveniently living nearby. During my graduation I started to research antirracist practices and children's interchanges. This not only allowed me to grow as an individual, but also paid for courses and made me discover the whole online artistic world, that helped me getting started at the art industry. So I spent 3 years studying by myself and making portfolios pieces, until I was found by the animation studio, Birdo, and moved to São Paulo to start a new adventure, like a hobbit! Ever since I'm working as Character and Props Supervisor, while freelancing in other projects here and there, pursuing each day to be better at what "little-me" wanted so much without knowing that already was: an artist.
