Hi! I'm Anita, a 2D animator and illustrator based in London.

- DASHA short animation inspired by a series of speed paintings exploring movement and balance in abstract compositions. I grouped them all together to find a flow and narrative, but in the end, just two paintings were used. Trying to make them all work together felt too forced. More to come with the remaining frames soon! - Design & Animation: Anita Gill
- Face LoopAfter some time of not getting the chance to work on personal projects, I decided to set myself a challenge of creating an animation in the day. I decided to draw one frame every hour in a work day. It felt like a way of satisfying my need to create something full of energy in a short span of time. The only vague parameter was that I wanted a sense of flow and rhythm without planning out any frames.
