I have always had some difficulty in drawing certain body parts and I started doing it regularly so that I would feel more comfortable in that area. I try to absorb a bit from my day-to-day life and gain inspiration which means that most of the things I develop are very trial and error oriented. Oh, thank you so much! I don't have an answer to that because I don’t have a very defined style like some artists. How do you give unique personalities to each of them? I love all of the different characters you create. So, we need to start believing in our skills. When we have such a talented team, sometimes we can feel pressured about your work, but, at the same time, we can learn more and understand that everyone has the same fear. But, so far, it's been a great experience to work with a team again, absorb wider knowledge, and grow professionally. Sometimes, changing from freelance to full-time can be challenging because both have pros and cons. I had spent three years as a freelancer and, although it was something I loved doing, I have always had the ambition to work at Buck and develop my skills alongside their team. I'm really glad about this new step in my career. What’s your experience been like working with Buck? Everything I learned in animation made the transition easier, as I began to understand better how to develop ideas and to design for the animation world. However, keyframes weren't exactly what I wanted to do, mainly because my background was in design, so I started working more as an illustrator/art director for animation. From that moment onwards, I had worked in an animation production company in Barcelona for five years. I began to explore 3D and 2D animation, so I took a postgraduate course in motion design. I started studying Graphic Design, and then I had the opportunity to work in a video mapping company. How did you get into the motion design industry? I'm also obsessed with food, and I love trying new restaurants with different concepts. So, whenever I go on vacation, I try to go to destinations where I can dive to detox from the whole year I've been in front of a computer. However, it's something that makes me completely disconnect and feel like I'm in a whole different world. One of my hobbies is scuba diving but, now that I live in the Netherlands, it seems nonsense haha. I currently work as a designer/illustrator for the animation industry.Īside from my work, I have a cat called Jimi and I'm obsessed with him (he reminds me of the Chinese lucky cat, fat and fluffy). I've always been interested in art because my parents are both artists, so I studied graphic design. I was born in Porto and currently live in Amsterdam. Thank you for having me! I'm so happy! I'm Catarina, an illustrator and designer. Thanks so much for joining our Takeover Tuesday series, Catarina! Please introduce yourself for the people who aren’t familiar with you.
