My name is Nathan Leal, an Arts and Entertainment major with a concentration in Animation at California State University, Fullerton, I primarily work in traditional graphite, blending realism with a cartoon style to explore darker, macabre themes in a digestible way. I also have proficiency in digital tools such as Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.I’m passionate about animation’s storytelling potential and create art as a way to explore emotion and express deeper themes. My goal is to become a storyboard artist or character designer and develop a visual style that feels iconic and impactful.
