Let Curiosity Build the Worlds with 3D Illustrator Chris Sickels of Red Nose Studio

Chris Sickels never stopped drawing. What started as a childhood obsession grew into a career spanning 3D illustration, stop-motion animation, and children's books. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on how his characters come to life, what it really feels like to work with your hands in a digital world, and the lessons he's picked up about staying curious, embracing vulnerability, and never stopping growing as an artist.
