About Me
- Heidi Smith
- Hi, my name is Heidi, I'm a freelance character designer, illustrator, and visual development artist who graduated from the character animation program at the California Institute of the Arts in 2008. I was the character designer and conceptual designer for ParaNorman, and I won an Annie award for my designs in 2013. In 2017, I illustrated my very first picture book, Lovely Beasts: The Surprising Truth, which won the Bull-Bransom Award in 2019 for excellence in the field of children's book illustration with a focus on nature and wildlife. I have also worked as a character designer for Henry Selick at Cinderbiter, The Jim Henson Company, DreamWorks Animation, Warner Brothers Animation, and Sony Pictures Animation. I'm obsessed with music, I love just about everything (except contemporary country music!!!) You'll usually find me either drawing, sleeping, or singing obnoxiously while showering at 3 am, that sums me up quite nicely! All original artwork copyright Heidi Smith 2024.

Your homage to Bill Peet's Whingdingdilly is superb!

Holy crap, these are friggin awesome. I really like the character you have in your designs, especially the Snowman design. I like the interaction between him and the girl. It's very sweet. Keep on posting and enjoy your summer!
Take care

These are wonderful,especially the drummer,great stuff!
These are rad! Love the great shapes and pushed proportions. Is this all digital?
Nonetheless, its Inspiring stuff.
Traditional charcoals and pastels?
Thats nuts.
In a good way.
Oops. Didn't intend to delete that comment. What I said was (essentially):
These illustrations are beautiful. I love the frankenstein-ish guy with the doll and the UK drummer who appears to be calling it quits. There is a great sense of motion in these works. They tell a good tale.
These are great designs. I really like the textures and how you use flat shapes to create your characters.
Nice work.
Aww Heidi, those designs are amazing, the texture is great, ant the proportions and posing of your characters are just perfect. The ombrella lady is my favorite... with her charming look :-)
