Oleksandr Y.
Pro 2D Animator & Character Designer | Adobe Animate & After Effect
I am a professional 2D Artist with a deep background in cartoon animation for both children's media and adult series. I specialize in creating expressive characters and fluid, high-quality motion. My strength lies in character construction. Thanks to years of experience with complex layouts and turnarounds, I ensure your characters look solid and stay "on-model" in any pose or camera angle. Technical Expertise: · Character Design & Art: Hand-drawn excellence in Paint Tool SAI and Photoshop. · 2D Animation: Expert use of Adobe Animate (Flash) for character-driven stories. · Post-Production: Advanced compositing, VFX, and motion graphics in After Effects. · Pro Background: Solid experience with industry-standard tools like Toon Boom Storyboard Pro and Toonz. What I deliver: · Production-Ready Characters: Full model sheets, emotions, and poses. · Storyboarding & Key Animation: From rough sketches to polished production layouts. · Full Video Production: I can take your project from a character sketch to a final animated video with effects. I combine a classic animation school approach with a modern digital workflow. With decades of experience, I bring a level of professional stability and classic animation principles that guarantee your project will look cinematic and polished. Let’s collaborate to make your project stand out!
