About Me
Email: leenadraws@gmail.com
Hello! My name is Leena, and I'm an animator and concept artist graduated from The Animation Workshop in Denmark. My previous studies include a bachelor degree in 3D animation and visualization in Helsinki and a year of traditional animation studies in Japan. Although my widest knowledge is in the character animation, I'm also highly interested in all kinds of animation and conceptual work.
I'm a cheerful worker, always enthusiastic to try my best even with new styles and techniques. Although there's still much I may not know, I'm a quick learner and I won't make the same mistake twice. I like to work in a team and I get easily along with different people, but I don't mind working alone either.
My pastime I spend by completing my original story projects. I love making stories and characters alive, and developing my animation and drawing skills further and further.
I'm familiar with:
3D animation, modelling and texturing: Autodesk Maya, Zbrush, Unity
2D Animation, VFX: Traditional, TVpaint, Toon Boom Harmony
Compositing, Post-production, Editing: After Effects, Premiere Pro
Concept Art, Background Art, Character Design: Photoshop, Illustrator
