Hand-Drawn Explainer Video Animator | Whiteboard & 2D Stick Figure
Top Rated hand-drawn explainer video specialist — 42 projects delivered on Upwork, nearly all of them whiteboard, paint-style, and 2D stick-figure animation. I build explainers that actually hold attention past the 30-second mark: script to storyboard to finished animation, with clean sound design and pacing that fits the platform it's going on. What I make: - Whiteboard and paint-style explainers — informative, artistic storytelling - 2D stick-figure animation — quirky and humorous, but still educational - Character-driven animated shorts — expressive and narrative-led - YouTube long-form, Shorts, ads, and course content How we'd work: 1. You send the script or just the idea — I come back with a storyboard 2. You approve style, pacing and voice direction 3. First cut in 5-7 days, two revision rounds included Got a reference channel you like the look of? Send it over — matching a specific style is most of what I do. Tools: Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, DaVinci Resolve. I work with a full production team behind me, so 10-minute videos and multi-video series stay on schedule instead of stacking up. Message me with your script or a reference video and I'll tell you the timeline, style and price before you commit to anything.
