Animation Desk
Inspired by those in use by the legendary designers at Walt Disney Animation, this custom animation desk was designed with versatility in media and size in mind. The desk is designed to be sturdy without compromising portability. It also includes specific design choices for ergonomic drawing positions and easy mobility of artwork.
The main drawing surface rotates 360° and is backlit for layer art. Around the main drawing area, a layer of cork board acts as a bulletin board for pinning inspiration images or mounting art supplies.
