How I Create Eye-Catching Animations & Illustrations (and What Inspires Me)

If you’ve found my portfolio — welcome! I’m Tina, a creative professional passionate about animation, motion graphics, illustration, and visual storytelling. Whether it’s a girly YouTube intro, a retro 90’s anime vibe, or a playful social media visual — I love creating art that connects with people.

A question I get asked often is: How do you come up with ideas?The truth is — inspiration is everywhere! From vintage magazines to fashion runways, from everyday moments to my favorite animated series. I usually start with:

✨ Mood boards — to collect visual ideas

✨ Sketches — pencil first, then digital

✨ Experimenting with color — to set the tone

✨ Animation flow — so the visuals feel alive

For me, animation isn’t just movement — it’s emotion. Every project, whether for a brand or personal work, tells a small story. I focus on balancing aesthetic and message so the design doesn’t just look good — it feels right.
