“I think my style is playful, colorful and imaginative,” she reflected in an interview with Flow Magazine. “A typical Hsinping Pan-illustration features bright colors and fun characters. I also love geometric shapes, and really like to add a face on the objects.”

“People often tell me they feel happy when they see my drawings,” she went on to say, “and that’s exactly what I hope to achieve when creating my work. I always want to make something beautiful and tell a little story; if people feel connected to my work, that makes me happy.”

Having received her Master’s degree at the University of Southern California in Animation and Digital Arts, Pan’s films have been played at festivals worldwide and received the first prize at Taiwan’s international animation festival. Her illustrations haven’t gone unnoticed as well, having won the bronze prize of 3×3 Magazine.

“Drawing is a way to express and entertain myself,” stressed Pan. “So, when I don’t have any commissioned projects, I work on my own projects, because drawing is so much fun.” They’re also fun to consume!

Originally an illustrator, with a background in fine arts, Dumic went on to study animation, which in turn, changed his approach to image-making. “I’ve finished bachelor studies in Graphic Design at S.P. University, then I enrolled and finished master studies in Animation at Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade,” he relayed in an interview with Ballpit Magazine.

“Digital art was created as a necessity of modern society,” he adds. “Over time I’ve adapted to the new medium such as Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects.” Based in Bosnia, Dumic admits he wants his art to leave a mark on the world. A digital maker by trade, he also enjoys drawing by hand, especially with graphite.

Here are some highlights from his Instagram page.

But his unique style was actually the result of an unfortunate accident. Having trained as a traditional pen and paper type of artist, he had to upgrade his toolbox after suffering a massive injury to his drawing hand right before his final year at university. While his hand healed he learned to use 3D software as well as studying animation, which resulted in a new sort of art he’s now become recognized for.

“Everything I’ve learned so far is from free YouTube tutorials and forums,” he told Juxtapoz. “There are so many resources for people starting out in CGI and I owe a lot to the people who make that content… Coming from a design background and working in that area, I think its easier to teach yourself. Of course, there are certain jobs in CGI and animation, in general, where teaching yourself probably won’t cut it.”

“My main advice for people still studying is not to be hung up if you don’t know exactly what you want to make,” he adds. “I think it’s healthy not to have preformed ideas of exactly what you’ll do when you leave art school, but it’s still super daunting.”

We’re not alone. Rowan has caught the attention of clients like the BBC, Channel 4, Disney, and Google, achieving numerous accolades for his work; and his Instagram page alone has amassed more than 25k fans, gaining his animated GIFS a staggering 350 million views.

Though his art is digital, when it comes to the creative process itself it includes both analog and digital methods. “I begin with sketches, unfocussed, free drawing and let what comes, come,” he told wertn. “At some point, a logic will begin to form and I’ll start to mold that into something that can translate into a short.”

“I keep my process hand-drawn and on paper until I feel it’s defined enough to work up in 3D, from that point I work directly from my sketches in 3Ds Max,” he went on to explain. “Once in 3Ds, each phase blends with the next. I always begin with modeling, then generally onto texturing, lighting, rigging and eventually animation.”

Take a look at some of his playful results:

Based in Brooklyn, his graphic illustration and short to-the-point animations often pull from ’90s nostalgia and art history. But his inspiration also includes musicians and artist who, just like him, don’t limit themselves stylistically. “This includes people like Heinz Edelmann, Toro Y Moi, Wayne White, and Flying Lotus just to name a few,” he says, adding: “Stylistically I have been really influenced by the drawings of Ken Price and paintings by Stuart Davis over the last few years.”

Hard at work, his clients include MTV, Vice, GQ, and Facebook. “I usually have 3 or 4 project ideas floating around in my head and I don’t feel quite right unless I’m making progress on one of them,” he admits. “I feel really lucky that I’ve been able to convince people to pay me to make things for them and I’m going to ride that out as long as possible.” And when he’s not riding his luck, he rides around New York City via skateboard.

DeRushie makes the characters and scenes by hand and avoids too much digital editing, because of which his props need to be sturdy and last while the filming does. The movie is kid-friendly and colorful, but the message it conveys is not so cheerful.

He was thinking about how the animals are usually represented in animation and the effects this has in the real world, so he came to the conclusion that animation is a powerful tool. “With this in mind, I tried to portray a respectful relationship between human and animal and to treat the bird without too much anthropomorphism. I also wanted the film to feel like you were in the cage with the main character, and to be a bit confused by the world,” said DeRushie in a statement.

“I like to take things or ideas that are familiar and then spin it until it feels ‘right’ — not a definite kind of right, but a forgiving, ever-shifting, strange kind of right that might have been made up with all kinds of wrongs,” shared Keeree in an interview with Creative Mornings. “An intended response to my work can be something like, ‘Hmmm..that’s weird, but I kinda like it.'”

With selected clients that include Anthropologie, Bloomberg, Buzzfeed News, and Old Navy, it’s clear that people more than “kinda like” his work. “You might find that your work is a little weird, different, or unconventional, but that’s a unique quality which sets you apart from other people,” he said, encouraging other artists. “Of course, the process comes with discouraging moments full of doubts too, but stick to it.”

“We care about diversity and female empowerment and we joined forces to create a world of playful yet strong characters, full of energy and positivity,” their website reads.

“From the beginning, we have applied a ‘don’t look back’ approach,” they stressed in an interview with Inky Goodness. “Make something, publish it and move on. Because of the repetition of the character style, we are accumulating details which are improving with each illustration. The clearest example of this is in the body shapes. They have changed from a geometric beginning to having a more realistic, stronger structure, which is more in tune with our message of depicting real women.”

Menzies, an illustrator and craftswoman, and Reverter, a 3D artist and animator, work together to create their unique characters. With collaborations with the New York Times, Apple, and Google, their artistic recipe proved to be successful.
