About The Customer

Ronaldo Regel is a 2D artist at Tortuga Studios, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil. He works in the TV and Movies industry, specifically in the creation of animated television series. Ronaldo is responsible for developing complex characters and scenarios for these series, creating highly detailed vector drawings of the characters to streamline the production process and facilitate the work of the series’ animators. Over the years, he has worked on a variety of animated series, including one for The History Channel called ‘History Drink’. This particular series was aimed at an all-ages audience and involved famous people from history who exchange conversation over a drink.

The Challenge

Ronaldo Regel, a 2D artist at Tortuga Studios, is tasked with developing complex characters and scenarios for animated television series. His role involves creating highly detailed vector drawings of characters to streamline the production process and facilitate the work of the series’ animators. However, the process of creating these characters is time-consuming and complex, often taking up to six hours to complete one character. Furthermore, many of the series he works on include multiple characters, which significantly increases the time spent on design. Ronaldo needed a solution that could offer the flexibility and creative power to efficiently complete complex designs with the professional-level quality that animators require.

The Solution

Ronaldo has been using CorelDRAW Graphics Suite for 14 years to help him with his design work. CorelDRAW was the first vector program Ronaldo had a chance to learn, and he has stuck with it ever since. The suite’s flexibility and creative power offer the workflow and tools he needs to efficiently complete complex designs with the professional-level quality that animators require. Ronaldo particularly appreciates the Bézier tool for creating detailed line art, but also relies on basic shapes, the transparency tool, and the envelope tool to achieve the visual impact he’s looking for. Additionally, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite offers comprehensive learning content, including over five hours of training videos, video hints, as well as tips and insights from the experts. This has helped him hone his techniques and learn how to customize the tools to his specific type of work.
