What our linework reveals about us and how Tintin and manga shaped my art style. Plus: Emil Ferris' My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, Sailor Moon, hex #F8F2F7, and more.
I love this article. And it’s made me think about the connection between Tintin and the early Warner Bros. cartoons. Of course animation necessitates simplifying characters which need to be drawn more to simulate movement. Backgrounds can be far more detailed there.
Thanks for reading, Alex! You’re absolutely right! I love exploring the connections between film/animation and comic illustrations—there’s so much to learn, even in a static medium. And you've inspired me to do some research this weekend (aka watching old cartoons for inspiration)!
