Katie Keller-Nieman: Sketchbook

Thursday, June 21, 2012

I've been working with 3d modeling, and this is part of a current project. I will be posting updates soon!

Katie Keller-Nieman: From the moment I held my first crayon, I knew-I was going to be an artist. Well, I imagine so. Can't remember back that far, but if I had to guess, that crayon would be 'cerulean.' My love of art progressed into my becoming an 'art dork'-as my friends so dearly put it-one of those people who goes to museums for fun, stays for hours, and leaves reluctantly when the doors close. So naturally, I went to art school. Savannah College of Art and Design. A little about my degree, it's in Sequential Art. The common reaction to hearing that is usually, "Huh?" Simply put, it's art in sequence. Comics, storyboarding, book illustration-art with a story. Concept design, script writing...I think you get it. At SCAD, my abilities grew, inspiration soared, and I learned the importance of carefully planning my time. Sleep got bumped out of the way more times than I would like to recall, but in the end it was well worth falling asleep on the bus a few times. What you see here on my blogs is a culmination of years of learning and perfecting, and it is ongoing. Like any dedicated artist, I am still seeking more, striving to reach a little higher. So keep checking back to see the evidence.
