Arne Niklas Jansson is amazing; I love his art. You might know his work from Cortex Command or the frickin’ flying spaghetti monster and uh, other stuff probably … point being, he’s an inspiration whose accomplishments I aspire to.
I don’t generally make a post for the sake of just a link, what with believing in the creation of original content, but he wrote an amazing art tutorial that trumps everything I could possibly say in any short amount of time. If you’re at all interesting in making art, read it. It’s simple, comprehensive, and I’m still reeling.
(Ugh, now I have to draw everything differently.)
