About Shehzar
I am an experienced visual artist, mid-level animator, and educator currently residing in Canada and originally from Karachi, Pakistan. I've lent my skills to various projects, including notable works such as TV series "Sausage Party: Foodtopia" (Bardel Entertainment) and "Mia and Codie," (Relish Studios).
My enthusiasm for education has led me to roles such as Studio Technician for Animation at Emily Carr University and Lab Instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. I've crafted courses like "Drawing for Animators" and "Visual Story and Character Development” at Alberta University of the Arts. I directed an animated/live-action short “Now Showing” with support from the Canada Council of the Arts and in collaboration with Fight With A Stick Performance.
I have exhibited and painted live in various shows in Vancouver, Karachi, Newcastle, Sydney, Adelaide, and Melbourne. In 2018, I was commissioned by the High Commission of Pakistan in Australia to paint a mural on its façade. In collaboration with the Karachi Biennale in 2019, I introduced an Australian mental health initiative at the NJV School in Karachi. I also curated and exhibited at Impact I and Impact II, which were shown at Movenpick Hotel Karachi Art Gallery and Gallery ArtOne62. In 2018, I organized a Pakistani photography exhibition for Consulate General of Pakistan in Sydney, and assisted in curating Jimmy Engineer’s exhibition at the Willoughby City Council in North Sydney.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Media Arts from University of the Fraser Valley (2022) and diplomas in 3D Animation from Vancouver Film School (2020) and SAE Institute Sydney (2019).

This course aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills to observe and draw the human figure, and communicate ideas through gesture drawing techniques for animation, with the objective of empowering them to effectively convey performance and movement in their animation work.
We can start with basic understanding of drawing, composition, and the ability to draw the human form. We then shift our focus to improve students' ability to capture performance and movement in their drawings, which is essential for illustration, painting, and animation.
Students will be provided with tools, exercises, practice opportunities, and expert feedback, as well as drawovers if needed, to build a strong foundation for their animation drawing journey.
It's important to note that drawing for animators is different from rendering images realistically. However, having a solid foundation in this approach to drawing can help bring more life to your drawings when adding realistic anatomical and costume details later on.

I had the opportunity to study 3D Animation at KPU under Shehzar's mentorship; he was such an amazing instructor during the time we worked together building my Demo Reel. Shehzar always encouraged us (students) to think independently and to be confident when pitching our ideas. He guided us on how we could execute our creative vision, in order to learn different methods of animation - as a result, I felt my ideas and vision were valued, and kept me motivated on pursuing this career path.
Knowledge, patience and passion are the most important things required to be an awesome instructor, and Shehzar has a strong sense of those three. I respect and admire his work, and hopefully soon our paths will meet again as animation collegues.Shehzar is an incredibly trustworthy and dependable person, which makes him an excellent teacher. He is patient, kind, and never gives up on his students, always ensuring they fully understand concepts before moving on. His ability to explain things clearly and adapt his teaching style to different learning needs makes learning both engaging and effective. He genuinely cares about those he teaches, creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. His dedication and positive attitude make him not just a great teacher, but also an inspiring mentor. Absolutely love him!
Shehzar is an excellent tutor for traditional drawing and animation. He has a lot of experience and is great at simplifying concepts and helping students build strong fundamentals. Highly recommend!
