Overview
“My name is Caio Martins. I've been in the animation business for eight years, working as a character designer, storyboard artist and animator.

A course by Caio Martins
Now with over eight years in the illustration and animation industry, Caio Martins began his career as an intern at Split studio and, until then, had never worked with any creative software (except Microsoft Paint) or touched a graphics tablet.
After honing his artistic craft, Caio went to other animation studios and worked on television series for major stations such as Disney Jr. (Dino Aventuras), Cartoon Network (Oswaldo), Nickelodeon (PapayaBull, Tainá), Tv Cultura, and Discovery Kids (Micro Adventures of Tito and Muda). He has also collaborated as an illustrator for major publishers such as Abril and Editora Moderna.
He is currently a freelance illustrator and works from home for animation studios, so he can spend more time learning and working on his personal projects.
