About | Sonali Morar

Hello

My name is Sonali Morar

Hard working, dedicated, and detail oriented...

Ready to share my creative endeavors with the rest of the world.

About Me.

"Find a way to make work fun"

Dedicated to developing myself as an artist in the professional world, my drawing hobby soon became a possibility for a future in design and animation. Fueled by my love of anime and creating vivid worlds through the tip of a pencil, I strive to establish myself as a worthy competitor in the creative world of visual development for animation, bringing along a whimsical and mystical aesthetic that is unique to me as an artist.
