My name is Lydia. I am a 3D character animator with more than 8 years of professional experience. I have worked on feature films, series and commercials. I mainly work in Maya and more cartoon style animation, ranging from really cartoony to more on the realistic side.
What I love best about animation is bringing the characters to life through acting shots.

In addition to animating, I give workshops on animation from time to time (elementary school) focused on overal "getting to know animation", stop motion or making your own thaumatrope.

Feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss anything animation related at lydiamikkers@gmail.com
