Production Artist - Dan Holland

Holland has worked as an animator, sketch artist, and art director at Pixar over the last 12 years. His latest project was as sets art director on the feature film “Inside Out.” He also hosts lectures to universities on subjects in animation for example, simply finding inspiration. He worked on the production of "UP!", a 2009 Pixar film. He has a BFA in character animation from the California Institution of Arts.

Below are some images of the art he has done.

Finches Concept Art - In progress I have been continuing the finches piece after the research I carried out and I have finished another finch.

It has bold, consistent lines and boxed colours to make it pop and it has a big eye that makes it stand out. As of now, I am swaying towards the cartoon style more as I feel like a video for educational purpose, it will draw more people in...
