About Christie Hicks
I'm Christie Hicks. I specialize in 2D Animation and Storyboard Art. I am an animation student. I've been to three universities (so far) and I've learned a lot at each one. At Olivet, in Illinois, I learned a lot about drawing, figure studies, and 3D space. At J.F. Oberlin, in Machida, Japan, I learned a lot about how culture affects art and film. At Aims, in Colorado, I learned the software and computers which are used currently in the animation industry. As fun as education has been, I cannot wait to professionally break into the animation industry and begin a whole new stage of learning.
