I constantly have an influx of different artists that I'm looking at, specifically from Instagram - it's such an amazing platform because you have artists who are building their careers in the same room as those still, or having worked at the likes of Pixar and Disney. I love seeing the more casual drawings from artists who have created some of my favourite animation characters-I've also included the work of Mary Blair on Alice in Wonderland, I have been inspired recently by illustrative styles and love the vibrant colours in the work (colour is something I need to work on!) Generally I find that the artists I follow specialise in character design or visual development, all very relevant to my personal practice. There are a few artists that I always look forward to seeing work from (below) but I also archive any pieces that I find particularly fascinating- to study the colour, try the style, the technique which will only serve to maximise my portfolio and create a greater breadth of skills. This summer and onwards, I am so excited to fill my time trying new things, taking inspiration from these artists and working my way through my notebook of ideas. It really has introduced me to a plethora of art styles that I want to sink my teeth into, because I'm not pinning my work to one style, I just want to create good work, hopefully!
