Earlier this year I designed characters and backgrounds for a series of Ikea animations all about lighting. There were 7 scenes in total, revolving around the same characters in different settings.
The animations were then done by Thiago Steka and his team.
Here's the development work and final illustrations.
The layout of this project, for each scene, will be the order in which I did them - Character design, colour roughs, stylesheets and finals.

The style of the animation was discussed early in the process as combining graphic shapes with lighting and volume in the scene and characters
