Sketching

2D animator with passion for animated TV series, sketchbooking and fiber arts. Energetic and highly motivated, always up for an artistic challenge.

Biography

2D animator and digital artist. I specialise in hand-drawn character animation, work in variety of styles and techniques. I have experience animating in TVPaint, Toon Boom Harmony, After Effects and Photoshop as well as creating storyboards, dynamic animatics and producing animated music videos. I have graduated from Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology (PJAIT or PJATK) and worked on productions from FAMU school of filmmaking.
I love animation as an art form and watch a lot of it in free time. I study expressions and gestures, both in animated media and in daily life. I'm highly interested in techniques that mimic various animation styles and create a less digital, more organic look while taking advantage of technology and streamlining production.
