Julia Gierlach Illustration
Born in 1995 and starting drawing not much later, the idea of being a creative was always present during my childhood. This passion outleveled my love for maths and languages and so I am now at your service to create something that hadn't been before.
I'm proficient in explainer video graphic and love to create compelling characters and backgrounds for storytelling - let it be storyboarding, comic or book illustration.
Why you should hire me:
• I studied figure drawing intensely and my characters won't seem eerie and off
• Eye for line quality: no wiggly and unclean lineart - every line is on spot
• On-point composition: harmony of thirds without disturbing tangents
