About ME
My name is Tengdong Li. Now I've just graduated from Academy of Art University. I finish my master program majoring in 2D Animation, specializing in storyboarding.
I was majoring in digital media during my undergraduate, in which I learned how to create art by digital tools. The art courses I took at that time let me know my potential to be an artist. Animation is one of my favourite forms of art, while I am also fascinated with telling story. I found an animation studio with my friends during my undergraduate and made several animation works. So I was pretty happy to find out I can specialize in animation storyboard. During the last 3 years in AAU, I learned a lot about animation art, with my skills improved greatly. I gradually fall in love with the power and conciseness of storyboard, which convince me to have it as my future career. I have created quite a few storyboards for both oringinal stories and provided scripts in the last 3 years, which polished my skills little by little. I've also kept writing down ideas I come up with which I think can turn out to be good stories. All the learning and training I have in AAU make it possible to turn these ideas to real storyboards or even animation. I'm looking forward to it!
