Academy of Animated Art Free Character - Woman In The Window
For Each Download, We Will Donate in Support of BLACK GIRLS CODE
Have you noticed how black skin-toned characters are not well represented in animated films?
Additionally, darker skin tones have also taken a back seat to how they are the best lit. The light setup for a light-skinned character does not translate well to a darker skin character, yet it's something that is rarely addressed or studied on how we can improve our lighting in these scenarios.
Academy of Animated Art would like to change this. Providing this asset for free is the first step.
We are offering this powerful dark-skinned female asset, entirely modeled, textured, and ready to be lit by YOU!
Let's start making compelling positive visuals to create awareness in all forms.
We can't wait to see what you create.
Please share it with us HERE in the lighting community and tag your creations on Instagram @academyofanimatedart
*You are free to post your work freely, but we do ask that you do give credit Academy of Animated Art for the asset when showing your work. Thank you!

For Each Download, We Will Donate in Support of BLACK GIRLS CODE
When choosing who to donate to, we want to focus on education and how we can specifically bring more people of color into our industry. With this in mind, we choose to donate to BLACK GIRLS CODE. Not only are blacks underrepresented in the animation industry but women especially.
We hope that our donation will lead to more black women being able to be allowed to fulfill their dreams.
Thank you for being part of this.
