Ana is a Romanian character designer currently studying Character Animation at The Animation Workshop, Denmark. “Some of my biggest inspirations are James Woods, Egon Schiele and Joaquin Sorolla.” 1 PANTHER
“Here you can see a very friendly cat-like panther design. I usually like drawing characters in interesting poses, keeping the rendering simple to emphasise the overall shape and flow.”
2 LADY GRISELDA
“This illustration was inspired by Frank Cadogan Cowper’s ‘The Patient Griselda’. I wanted to capture the same dreamy feeling, except I used a more modern colour palette, making it more stylised.”
3 WEREFOX LIBRARIAN
“I like participating from time to time in the Character Design Challenge. This was my entry for the ‘Monster University’ theme, a librarian Werefox.”
AMELIE EXPRESSIONS
“In this piece I tried depicting Amelie’s face in different scenarios, testing out how much I can push, squash and stretch the design’s expressivity.”
5 CLAUDIA
“My favourite vampire character from Interview with the Vampire. I have a soft spot for moody, capricious characters, I think they are very charming.”
