A course by Lara Pickle
Larisa Bumb, better known as Lara Pickle, is a Spanish-Romanian visual development artist based in the UK. Inspired by the cartoons of her childhood, she always knew she wanted to draw for a living. Although she studied animation, she found that her passion lay elsewhere in the industry. She loves the behind-the-scenes work of developing characters and the environments they live in, as it gives her the freedom to explore her imagination and tell stories through her art.
Over the course of her career, Lara has developed designs for animated shows like Nickelodeon’s Pony, Netflix’s Dead End: Paranormal Park, Nella the Princess Knight, and Powerbirds, as well as the musical P.S. I’m a Terrible Person and the comic Kajko and Kokosz. She has also published her own graphic novel Estoy fatal, gracias.
