Heavily based on an illustration I am working on currently, one person that came to mind is a Japanese manga artist, Masashi Kishimoto. Kishimoto is known for his popular series “NARUTO” and within the series he creates a bunch of movement and directional lines with his characters. Given his style of illustration of dynamic shots, I find Kishimoto’s work to reflect my own attempts to illustrate movement and directional lines. Overall, his style of illustration he puts in his work is inspiration for my illustration skills to enhance further and I am grateful for that.
Choosing Kishimoto makes sense for you. He is an EXPERT at using gesture and directional lines to create movement.
