About Benjamin J. Hummel Books
Benjamin Hummel's light-hearted illustrations have appeared in numerous children's books, textbooks, magazines, and greeting cards. However, his true passion is education. When he is not teaching at Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, Benjamin writes books on drawing, illustration, and art. He is currently developing lessons on drawing hair and fur, drawing hands and feet, drawing children, and perspective drawing. What makes Benjamin's story unique is the fact that he lives with a debilitating autoimmune disease which resulted in him receiving two liver transplants at the age of fifteen. As a result of his renewed lease on life, Benjamin dedicates his work to the joy of living. To overcome his daily physical challenges, he creates art that encourages others to live rich and full lives. Benjamin documents his life, illustrations, process shots, and art tips on Instagram @hummelillustration.
