Hello, my name is Sophie. I am an Animator and Illustrator, I recently graduated from Edge Hill University with a 2:1 degree in BA (Hons) Animation.

 

I have a passion for creating and bringing stories to life, whether that be through stop motion, 2D animation or illustration.

 

My strongest skill set lies within stop motion. This is due to the hands on element, whether that is building models, making outfits or doing set design. Stop motion is my biggest passion, as proven in my final year project whereby I produced a short stop motion film titled "Outside the Box". To be able to complete this I first had to develop my narrative through storyboards and a script. To make the motion I built sets and models to represent that of the storyboards. Then I directed and shot each scene using Dragonframe software, editing the footage in Premiere Pro.

 

Being an animator, illustration is always at the front of my mind, whether it be a quick sketch of an idea or a basic character design that develops into something bigger.

(I'm sure us creatives all know the feeling of scribbling down a great idea before it disappears!) I recently designed a poster for a charity “Walk to Work” event, working from a basic brief to produce what the client asked for.

 

In my spare time, I often draw on my iPad using Procreate and publish my work on a dedicated Instagram (@scribb.lesbysoph) to share with others who enjoy illustration. I sometimes take part in activities where we have to recreate someone else’s drawing in our own style. This is really enjoyable to see how others take a different approach in recreating the same drawing.

 

Available for freelance or permanent work, whether it be a one off project or multiple. Please get in touch and I look forward to working with you.
