@Smrff: dude I wound up drawing while walking a lot so I wasn't looking, almost walked into a street and got hit by a car apparently! Haha. Think it was worth it though.

@Jaik your crit is spot on, that image is not clear at all. The joke was based on going to get my hair cut then realizing how light my head felt without all the extra weight, but it just fell short as an image if I have to explain that. Story clarity man, It's hard! That should be my goal right now, making sure nobody can mistake what's going on in my drawings. sorry for confusing you XD

Animators, uh... Milt Kahl for sure, really all of Disney's 9 Old Men were completely amazing. I'm also a big fan of Fred Moore, the shapes he uses have more appeal than any drawing needs.

You can probably find a ton of cool facts about old Warner Brothers animators from John Kricfalusi's blog, and of course keep your eye out for names int he credits of old movies you like.
As for aniem artists one name I just came across is Yoshinori Kanada. Seems liek he influenced a ton of what's popular in anime today. I also really like Hiroyuki Imaishi and Yoh Yoshinari. Wish I knew more old non-disney animators, let me know if you find any awesome artists!


Here are some of my travel sketches and some recent doodles. It's weird how different my home environment feels now, suddenly I'm surrounded by the internet's best artists and more or less isolated from friends and instead of having fun and trying to depict what's around me I'm worried about not being as good as everybody else.
