| Introduction | Kierra Amaral is an aspiring character designer / animator currently attending the University of South Florida to earn her bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts. Her drive comes from being inspired by popular animated films created by studios such as Pixar and DreamWorks, and the works of professional animators / artists like Tim Burton, Don Bluth, and Tiago Hoisel. She started drawing at a very young age, after being taught by her sister and mother. From there, she took great interest in sharing her imagination with those around her. Her family is a big motivation in her life, and they are the foundation of her enthusiasm to succeed at her goals. Many times, they are even used as the inspiration for her characters. She describes her art style as lively, colorful, cartoonish, and detailed. She specializes in Digital Painting with intense focus on presenting her characters’ personalities to the audience |
