About Kinship & Art Style

What can Kinship do?

Beginning the digital art scene from a late elementary age, Kinship acquired their skills and talents through 7 years of professional and college level traditional art mediums, genres, and styles during middle and high school. What remained clear was the ability to design characters, produce abstract backgrounds on the fly, create clear and eye-catching graphics.

​

Having been taught traditional mediums alongside digital, Kinship developed a style that was unique to them and combined the aspects of traditional into the realm of digital. Crisp penned lines to tragically grainy pencil lining, and perhaps even completely lineless! Using watercolor, gouache, and airbrush tools to detail and render, they brought their ideas to life. An occasional manga artist stylization here and there as well from childhood inspirations can be seen when Kinship produces art with penned lines, while penciled is entirely original to their digital style!
