Sarah Walsh
Winny and Whoo

Animation

Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
Winny and Whoo are two best friends on a journey of self-discovery and even though it may not always go according to plan, they always have each other to rely on. This was designed as an introduction to a children's book I am currently writing. As an illustrator/animator, I wanted to introduce both characters and showcase their playfulness and friendship through a short animation.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
The animation was done frame by frame and cleaned up using a mixture of Photoshop, Procreate and Animate. The backgrounds were painted in Photoshop and the lighting was finalised in After Effects.

How were your illustrations used:
Self promotion/portfolio
