Turn Drawings Into Digital Animation

About the project

I have a collection of hand-drawn characters and scenes sketched by my daughter and I’d like to see them brought to life as polished 2D digital animations. The source material is pencil-on-paper artwork; your task is to translate those drawings faithfully into clean, coloured frames and then animate them so they play smoothly in video form. We’re strictly interested in 2D work—no 3D or stop-motion—using a digital animation workflow (Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, TVPaint, or similar). Each finished piece will be slotted into short online videos, so think in terms of compact narrative clips rather than a single long film. Timing can vary: some sequences may be just a few seconds, others a couple of minutes, depending on how the storyboards evolve. You’ll receive high-resolution scans of the sketches plus notes on movement, expressions, and pacing. From there I’ll need: • Clean-up and colour of the original line art • Frame-by-frame or rig-based animation (whichever best matches the art) • Final export in 1920×1080 H.264 MP4, with transparent background versions when layering is required Everything must stay true to my daughter’s style—quirky proportions and all. If this sounds like a project you can put heart and skill into, let’s talk workflow, turnaround, and how many clips we can tackle first.
