## About Animated Illustration

### How I See Animated Illustration

Animation lets me blend movement with meaning. I use it to explore themes like womanhood, nature, and the way science and emotions overlap. I’m drawn to digital tools, but I love making things feel organic and a bit dreamy. If you want something that’s more than just decoration—something with a vibe, a mood, a story—I’m your person.

### What I Make

- Digital animated book covers that capture a story’s soul before you even read the first line.
- Meditative motion graphics, from hand-lettered animation synced to music, to surreal loop animation posters that set a tone for a brand or mood.
- Artistic GIFs for social media, not your standard meme stuff. I like making loops that feel warm, vibey, and a bit trippy—great for anyone who wants their feed to stand out.

### My Style

I go for narrative-driven animation with a surreal edge. I use bold colors, lots of linework, and gentle loops to pull you into a small, immersive world. My work often explores psychology, femininity, and science fiction, but I like mixing things up.

### How I Work

I mostly use After Effects and Procreate. Sometimes, I’ll get into hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation for that raw, personal feel. I keep learning and switching things up, so my style’s always evolving. If you’re after something personal and a bit offbeat, I’m up for it.

### My story

Hey, I’m Noopur. I get totally lost in drawing out what it means to be a woman, and how that ties in with nature’s wild patterns. My grad thesis at MICA, ‘The nature of being,’ was me connecting womanhood and science with the natural world. Hands-on stuff is my jam - acrylics, pencils, sketchbooks everywhere. But digital art and making things move? Love that too. Seeing my work in places like The New York Times, honestly, it’s wild and humbling.

### My work

- **Visual Design & Illustration Projects**: I create editorial illustrations, posters, book covers, and love jumping into creative collabs.
- **Surreal Feminine & Nature Themes**: My art dives into self-preservation, bioluminescence, and the link between bodies and nature.
- **Mixed Media & Motion Graphics**: I switch between acrylics, color pencils, digital tools, and sometimes add motion graphics for magazines.
- **Editorial & Collaboration Experience**: I’ve worked with Bandcamp Weekly, The New York Times, and on fiction contest posters.
