Nook & Cranny: From Sketchbook to Digital
Dive into the world of Nook & Cranny through this 8-second animated short—an invitation to joyful, planet-loving adventures. Explore my creative journey: from initial sketchbook concepts, to vibrant Procreate illustrations on my tablet, and finally, polished as high-quality vector graphics in Illustrator. Each stage captures the characters’ curiosity, compassion, and playful energy.
