Creating custom made quality characters for all our animated videos and illustrations services

Early Character Design Concepts for IDF.org animation by independent artist Anders Sundstedt

We whip up unique 2D character designs, web illustrations, children’s book art, educational cartoons, and more. Our work shines across all 2D animated videos, blending detailed characters, immersive backgrounds, and props seamlessly.

With over 14 years in the game, Anders Sundstedt has crafted hundreds of intricate backgrounds and art pieces for all our animations.

Anders lives for creating custom artwork, mostly digital, but also loves to sketch by hand with pen or pencil. Catch him in his element, working on the latest animated project or creating explainer and educational videos.

When not drawing or animating, Anders enjoys films, TV, photography, and exploring Scotland. Follow him on social media, especially Instagram, to see his latest work and adventures.

From rough storyboards to polished backgrounds and characters, Anders’ illustrations are thoughtfully designed to fit perfectly with your animated stories.

Whether you need happy, bright illustrations or dark and moody designs, we’ve got you covered. We can match any mood to make your script come alive.

When crafting new characters or objects, like a rag doll for an animated film, we start with concept sketches for client feedback, then polish the final illustration based on those ideas.
