Hello! I'm happy to help you with your project- I'm an experienced illustrator and can adapt to many styles due to my time spent as a merchandising artist at Germany's largest TV company. My current role is freelance illustrator and animator for various clients and I'm always striving to create illustrations that not only meet the client's requirements, but stand out from the generated AI or clipart by being individually designed and hand-drawn digitally. When animating 2D- explainer films, they are chiefly showing various people doing things, thus my ability to draw characters is something I'm experienced at and love to do. I'd be very happy to work on this project with you and look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Andrea
