Así mismo también ha metido la cabeza en el mundo de la animación, trabajando para diversas empresas.
This is a small biograpghy of an illustrator. I'm thinking this could be something like "to get your foot in the door", or something like "breakthrough". I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance.

Meter la cabeza:
It seems to me that the expression conveys the meaning that illustrator has some experience in a 2nd field but not an overly extensive one compared to his main occupation.

I found the same translation as you here:
http://www.tomisimo.org/idioms/es/meter-la-cabeza-1760.html
Some alternatives:
"...has also made a foray into the world of animation..."
"...has also gained an entrance to the world of animation..."
Although I think the first answer is best because it implies that he is going to continue with animation in the future, rather than just trying it for a while, if you think that's correct in the context
