Laurent Rossi

English/French Character Animator that has worked on animated feature films, 'Nimona', 'Missing Link', 'The Secret Life of Pets', 'Minions', and many more over the last 16 years.
Figure/Life Drawing is my passion and as well as being something I take great pleasure in doing, also has a very beneficial impact on my professional work in terms of anatomy, weight, movement and posing.
When drawing the human figure I love using shadow to create volume and depth, I love trying to capture the weight and movement in an anatomically correct and yet loose manner, and above all, I love finding little attentions to detail that capture the essence of the model, especially around the face.
I have lived across 3 different European countries and the US, and am now living in London, UK.

Studied Animation and Drawing at renowned art schools, GOBELINS l'Ècole de l'Image - Paris, ESAG Penninghen - Paris and The Arts University Bournemouth - UK.
