CG Master Academy has updated its gallery with artist highlights drawn from its recently completed Fall term—all professional artists broadening their skillsets and ArtStation members.
David Aucourt, a professional 3D character artist, and lead character artist for TAT Studio producing its first animated feature film has taken a range of CGMA classes: “It’s hard to name just one favourite CGMA class. So far Anatomy for Production and Character Casting were my favourites—I learned a lot with them. There’s also the Character Creation for Games class where you apply all the artistic knowledge from previous classes into a production piece which is important to have in a portfolio.”

Abdelrahman Kubisi, a 2D/3D digital artist, sculpting statues and collectibles has taken a number of CGMA classes including Production Modeling, Anatomy for Production 1 & 2, Creature Anatomy and Character Casting.
“I’ve always been interested in human anatomy”, explains Abdelrahman. “Ever since I learned how to draw I have always been interested in drawing muscles and big guys, so the anatomy class was the best for me. I’d like to give a shout out to the amazing anatomy instructor at CGMA Christian Bull. Not only he is an amazing anatomy instructor, but also a very nice person, and he’s helped with my anatomy work even after we finished the class.”

Marcus Leal, a professional 3D Artist with 8 years of experience has worked for game studios, advertising agencies and architectural companies. His recent CGMA classes include Production Modeling, Anatomy for Production 1 & 2, Creature Anatomy, Character Casting, and High End Character Creation for Games 1 & 2.
“CGMA offered a program that I was having a hard time finding”, explains Marcus. “That is, understanding the big picture of a Character Development workflow. Having a solid workflow is the key to give you the freedom to be a better artist because it eliminates the uncertainty of whether your character will be useful in a production pipeline.”

Gabriel Chiang is a 3D Generalist and Industrial Designer, specializing in characters art. His recent CGMA classes have included Production Modeling, Anatomy for Production 1 & 2, Creature Anatomy, Character Casting, and High End Character Creation for Games 1 & 2.
Gabriel professes that Anatomy Class was his favorite: “You can never have enough of it. It is fundamental and super important for a character artist. Christian Bull was an outstanding instructor, showing a lot of passion and motivation in every class. Teaching anatomy with real models was awesome and the content and time he gave in his feedback, was great too. I think that if I had the chance to take it again, I will still keep learning.”
