Miia Taivalkoski

Hi!

I'm a freelance illustrator and animator based in Northern Finland. I love detailed paintings with strong storytelling elements, and I often find inspiration from films, nature and travel. The artworks displayed in my portfolio represent the kind of work I enjoy creating the most: fun, colourful illustrations of nature, people and all kinds of creatures.

Storytelling, book illustration, concept art, 2D-animation, frame by frame animation, learning materials, motion graphics

I have a bachelor's degree in motion design, and I am very familiar with Adobe Creative Cloud programs, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and After Effects. Nowadays I mostly work on my iPad, using both Procreate and Procreate Dreams.
