Hi there! I'm Amanda Conrath. Most people know me as pokiipanda or Pokii online.

​

Ever since I was able to pick up a pen or pencil, drawing has been my lifeline. I am deeply passionate about illustrating and bringing my and others' ideas to life through my art. I've always believed that it is impossible to tell a compelling story without relatable and memorable characters within any narrative.

 

I currently reside in Dallas, TX (USA). I went to the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) for several years to improve my skills and learn many new things about what it means to be an illustrator. When I'm not drawing, I spend my free time writing about my characters, spending time with partner and family, and learning new skills (3D, animation, sculpting)... and playing video games until the wee hours of the morning. 

​

My art tools: iMac, Wacom Cintiq 16, Wacom Mobile Studio Pro, Clip Studio Paint
