of his sweet and sassy characters. 

Thank you for the inspiration Woulter!

ILLUSTRATION INSPIRATION: Christophe Lourdelet

Character Design and Story Boarding are a specialty of this weeks illustration inspiration

 feature artist, Christophe Lourdelet. I love the playful soft lines of his characters and how

 each has their own personal touch *the albino pirate = so funny. And that dudes hair 

in the middle make him stand out much stronger than any old skinny guy. Christophe's

 attention to detail is clear as he develops his characters, its like you love them before you

 ever meet them.

ILLUSTRATION INSPIRATION; Genevieve Santos

OK~ I am getting my sketch book out right now! These character sketches by 

Genevieve Santos are so inspiring. There is so much personality in these sketches. 

Even just looking at the Old Man sketch, he doesn't have to be doing anything and 

you can just assume what he would say if he popped off the page. I have always 

adored sketches more than a finished product. There is something about the soft 

and hard lines and being able to see the underlying frame work that really 

steals my heart.
