Katie Hofgard

I think what has improved the most in my time at RMCAD is my ability to create clear and interesting illustrations. My figures and environments have improved, making them more believable than before, and my ability to compose a good illustration has improved as well. I feel like I know what I'm doing when I decide to make an illustration, no matter what it is.

Brett Vinduska

November 11, 2008 saw the advance release of the monthly comic book, Sunset. Brett provided coloring on the publication.

Leila del Duca

When it comes to drawing or painting, the aspect that has improved the most has been the knowledge of how to render objects, anatomy, and how to make images believable. Now that I am in the more advanced classes, I’m learning numerous ways to make illustrations that are new to me, but extremely fun and useful.

I love to challenge my viewers to rethink the way they look at the human body, and life in general. Holding onto preconceived unhealthy notions, attitudes and opinions is something I would like my viewers to reconsider, as they look at my work.
