Kyle Femath, from an early age, loved art and animation. Born and raised in Texas, his patriotism and love for our nation fueled his drive to join the United States Army as an Infantryman, in a time of war. His passion for creating artistic works of art was something not even a warzone could rip apart.
After serving as an Infantry Combat Sergeant and receiving the Purple Heart in Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan. He returned home and began studying computer character animation. Kyle began learning various art forms at the University of Texas of Dallas: Figure drawing, anatomy, and advanced charcoal drawing classes.
After a long 8 years of college, Kyle Received Three degrees.

As Kyle's career in Character animation progressed, he always wondered if there was still a possibility that he could be successful as a fine artist. In early 2019, Kyle was in the University of Texas at Dallas, SP/N Master Art Show, where he received an Honorable Mention for his first Charcoal Portrait of himself and his infantry brothers fighting the Taliban in Afginastian. It took Kyle over 100 hours to complete the entire Charocal portrait and judging by the detail you would have thought it took even longer. His attention to detail and understanding of the elements of art from his mentors over the years shows throughout his art pieces.
Kyle enjoys animation but often returns to his first love of charcoal. He is drawn to the timeless aesthetics of black and white artwork and its classic look. He has also a unique technique using various electric erasers, Charcoal Pencils, and charcoal sticks. Creating a more realistic and detailed final charcoal product compared to only using Charocal sticks. Kyle is always improving his craft and learning more each day by constantly pushing the limits of such an adventurous art form.
