PROJECT OVERVIEW:

PROJECT OVERVIEW:

Created a pair of animated illustrations exploring character-based animation, seamless looping, and subtle movements.

These animations feature my original character in a soft, cozy,
lo-fi-inspired style. By reducing frame rates with Posterize Time and using precise keyframing, I focused on animating gentle movements and the minuscule details that bring the scenes to life while maintaining a hand-drawn and warm feel.

An illustration of a girl with headphones writing in her journal with a cup of hot coffee.

CONCEPT:

I illustrated an original character based on myself, capturing the way I work, and my necessary cup of caffeine wherever I go! Inspired by the "lofi girl" atmosphere, I chose a monochromatic blue palette and a Ghibli-like softness to shape the visual tone.

The set includes two seamlessly looping scenes:

One focuses on writing, with delicate ambient motions like steam rising, subtle pen movement, and gentle blinking.

The other features a warm smile, where the character smiles softly as she lifts her cup.

Together, the animations explore mood, personality, and stillness in motion.

Reflection:

This project strengthened my understanding of pacing, timing, selective motion, and how small details can drastically enhance the animation. I learned how important it is to consider why each element moves, and how these tiny interactions contribute to a cohesive story.
