Rebecca Thompson’s Summary

I have had passion for drawing for as long as I can remember. Even at a very young age I was designing characters, writing stories and creating storyboards. I continue to write in my spare time and draw every single day. I love animated films and find the whole character creation process fascinating.

I am able draw all of my characters and designs from first principles using manual art techniques, mediums and skills. I am also adept in the use of computer based tools, primarily Photoshop and Painter. I have a small but well equipped home studio environment with comprehensive drawing facilities plus the latest computing equipment.

My ambition is to become a leading and successful character designer within the film or game industry.
