I really appreciated Daniel Clowes work, his art style was so beautiful to watch, as he drew the face of one of his characters it just seemed so effortless and easy for him. I also really liked how he was a little more of a recluse and seemed very humble despite becoming a rather famous artist and comic. He seemed like a very relatable and grounded person that was still relatable.
Pablo Picasso is of course a massive name in art and even people who don’t follow art know his name and some of his works. However, Picasso has always been one of my favorites, as instead of focusing on realism he goes more abstract and out there subject matter, I always have liked his style and wished to draw in it one day.
Manga and Anime art style has always been a kind of art that looks very visually appealing to me. While I don’t read Mangas or Watch anime I still really enjoy the art style. The art style currently is very sharp and aggressive and has lots of blood and violence. However the older manga style used by Hokusai and Sojo were more rounded and cartoonish. I find it very interesting to look at the rounded noses and foreheads of the characters in the old anime drawings and the very sharp chins and eyes in the newer ones. This art style is heavily pushed by the current Chinese and Japanese culture and you can tell by the ever changing dynamic of the art style that it is a fluid art form.
