A course by Petra Popescu
Petra Popescu lives in Germany and works as a freelance storyboard artist in the animation industry. After graduating with a degree in graphic design, she found her calling during the first few projects she worked on as a prop and character designer and director's assistant. She started exploring the world of black-and-white Japanese comics at a young age thanks to anime series Dragon Ball, sparking her life-long fascination with the expressive power of a few simple lines and shading.
The current aim of her art is to elicit intense emotions from her audience using minimal resources. Her work ranges from film projects and video game cinematics to US and German children's shows, as well as movies and series for Netflix.
