Rebecca Kimmel studied Illustration at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California under master instructors Burne Hogarth, Harry Carmean, and Richard Bunkall among others. She has produced graphic content for CD-ROM delivery with clients including the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, FEMA, the FBI, the EPA, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Rebecca has previously taught two CGWorkshops, Drawing on the Past and Figuratively Speaking.

While Rebecca is well accomplished in traditional media and technique she is also highly skilled in digital delivery primarily using the standard graphics programs of Maya, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Premiere in her work. At heart, however, Rebecca is a draughtsman and painter with a desire to share her enthusiasm for both Traditional and Digital Drawing and Painting with the global CG community through her Anatomy Review, Artistic Anatomy and Figurative Art Forums on CGTalk and through CGWorkshops' courses.

Rebecca's training and experience have allowed her to fill a unique niche introducing time proven, traditional technique to artists who are primarily digitally trained.

Rebecca is currently completing a Master of Fine Arts degree in Digital Art at George Mason University in Virginia with the aim of extending her career to teach Digital Art, Drawing, and Painting at the college level.

Figuratively Speaking II
with Rebecca Kimmel

Course starts 14 August 2006.

Registration: Closed

Faithful and elegant depiction of the human form has been a goal of artists for centuries. Even today the beautiful, ancient, figurative studies of the old masters are still admired by artists and regarded as artistic benchmarks.

In this new course Rebecca Kimmel will draw on her extensive formal training under master instructors Burne Hogarth, Harry Carmean, and Richard Bunkall to instill the basics required to accurately and faithfully interpret the human form.

Rebecca will help artists improve their understanding of the human form with a series of lectures and demonstrations. The skills learnt will be put to good use during the exciting 2 minute, 5 minute and 15 minute sketch challenges and formal assignments, which occur weekly. This course is a must for any 2D artists wanting to gain the necessary skills to illustrate accurate human figures. However the technical study of the human body will also provide an excellent grounding for 3d modelers and texturers who enjoy drawing/painting and who intend to model accurate depictions of the human form.

" Rebecca. Thank you ---Thank you--- Thank you! You are a talented teacher and have a lot to offer."
Paul Campagnoli,Student, Figuratively Speaking I

In this course Rebecca Kimmel will draw on her extensive formal training under master instructors Burne Hogarth, Harry Carmean, and Richard Bunkall to instill the basics required to accurately and faithfully interpret the human form.

Rebecca will work from the 'inside out' studying skeletal, musculatory and anatomical form as a basis for excellent figurative illustration. This course is a must for any 2D artists wanting to gain the necessary skills to illustrate accurate human figures. However the technical study of the human body will also provide an excellent grounding for 3d modelers who like to draw and intend to model the human form.
