About

Hey! I'm Anand, a Freelance Visual Development artist! I create concept art for animated Tv series and feature films. I'm also interested in working on concepts for games in the future. I work in a variety of styles for both 2D and 3D projects and my focus is on telling a story with light and colour. Graduated from Gobelins Ecole de l'image with a Masters in Character Animation and Animated Filmmaking in 2020. I'm very passionate about making animated films and TV shows but what I love most of all is comics! Skilled in Visual Development, Concept Art, Comic Art and Illustration.
