About Myself
Don Low
Singapore
Though Don was born & bred in Singapore, he has never gotten used to the hot & humid climate here. And unlike locals, he has never successfully enjoyed chilly and spicy food without working out a sweat. Therefore he longed to live in the northern part of the earth's hemisphere or the south where he could see a change of seasons and where the weather is not as harsh. Don is basically a self taught artist and an engineer by training.
In 2006 he was awarded a MDA Media Education Scheme scholarship to pursue an overseas graduate studies in animation. On graduation, his thesis film "Cafe Voyeur" was awarded Honorable Mentions among others from around the globe in the Animag 2009 Students' Film Awards. At the same time, he was also one of the 5 teams chosen for his collaborated entry to be one of the Finalists for the Disney Imagineering ImagiNations Design Competition 2008. In addition he interned and worked a year for The Walt Disney Company Imagineer/Parks & Resorts Online as a Visual Development / Concept Artist.
Currently he is working as a fulltime illustrator for books, magazines and advertising agencies. His specialties include: Character design, animation designs, creating storyboards, comic and etc. His favorite traditional media includes watercolor, pen & ink, pencil and acrylics. He works digitally with all Adobe programs, Corel Painter and Autodesk Maya specializing in 3D Modeling, Texture Painting and CG Lighting. He hopes to publish his comic books and work full time on his animated film.
