ABOUT

Hello There!

 

My name is Mikkaela Hartikainen, I'm an illustrator and 2d animator born in the Cowichan Valley and currently living in Vancouver B.C.

​

I studied and graduated from Capilano University's 2d animation and Visual development program in 2022.

​

I have a great interest in Animals, dance, rhythm-based video games, and anything with a fall colour palette, which I try to relate back to my art.

When not drawing I spend my free time working on personal projects such as crochet, sewing, or personal comics and relaxing by playing games and resting with my dear pet bearded dragon.

​

Proficient Programs:

Toon Boom harmony, TV paint, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Procreate, Clip studio paint
