I'm Katherine, a character artist, and a recent graduate with a BFA in Animation and Illustration. Don't be fooled, I also work in figure modeling as well. I am passionate about illustration, fashion, doll design, and sculpting.
IllUSTRATION
About My Work
In my body of work, it is easy to notice that I focus on character design. A successful concept, whether it be a book, an animation, or a line of toys, revolves around an interesting character. While the actions of a character can say a lot, a compelling character design is the cherry on top. Not only does it draw a viewer in, but a face is as marketable a concept as a story. It's my specialty to make that face a memorable one.
While I favor working with fantasy designs, I try to
keep myself well rounded. I specialize in the human form, but I am able to draw anything from robotics to animals.
If you're looking for something specific that you don't see here, be it tattoo design or realism, don't be afraid to contact me. I may be able to help you out, and I may even have some designs stored away for reference.
SKETCHBOOK
Many of my designs go through multiple passes in my sketchbook. Each concept is carefully considered and exercised to its fullest potential.
Here are a few examples of the concept work found in my multitudes of sketchbooks. (Along with some extras for a little flavor!)

Digital WOrks
While I usually plan my work traditionally on paper, working digitally to achieve a finished and polished product has become an essential part of the process.
Dolls
And
Figurines
My love for figure modeling has given me the opportunity to explore the world of figurines and dolls. I've experimented in designing clothing and patterns, along with accessorizing.
