Harmony 20 Interviews: Anja Shu on animating with textures

To showcase all of the features in Toon Boom Harmony 20, we invited seven artists and teams to produce a demo video, each contributing scenes inspired by a short prompt. These teams were drawn from both the Toon Boom Ambassador Program and our international community, and were given total creative freedom on their scenes.

Anja Shu is a 2D animator from Kyiv, who has contributed to a number of animated feature films, shorts, series, commercials and games — and was selected to be a Toon Boom Ambassador for 2020. The aesthetic style of her frame-by-frame animation is directly inspired by traditional art materials. We interviewed Anja about the scene she contributed to the demo pack for Harmony 20 as well as her advice for experimenting with textures and watercolour effects in animation.
