A young creative hailing from Orange County, Kianna Krauss (stylized as Keyyahnuh) specializes in illustration in both the digital and physical world. Her works are heavily anime inspired with a modern constructive and colorful format
Throughout my youth, I was immediately indulged into as many art courses and art-related activities in school. I hold an array of advanced art courses under my belt beginning from sixth grade - allowing me to advance my skills and understanding of the basic principles of art and incorporate them to my everyday works. These courses included commercial art, studio art, digital art, graphic design, character design, life/anatomy, and so on.
As of now, I am currently attending Orange Coast College to complete an Associates Degree in Narrative Illustration - being my fourth AA behind Psychology, Sociology, and Human Behavior & Development.
I am a firm believer that there is always more to learn. I always strive to better myself and my skillset - whether that be through attending courses at my local community college or taking online courses through Domestika - I am always willing to learn and broaden my horizons.
I draw inspiration from my dreams, interests, and the people I encounter; weaving these elements together to illustrate surreal and dreamlike illustrations.
I work with digital media, oils, and acrylics. I enjoy experimenting with various techniques and materials to achieve my desired visual effects. My artistic style is characterized by my personal interests mixed with modernity and abstraction, allowing me to capture both the essence of the human form and the emotional undercurrents that shape our experiences
