5. Clark and Michael and a breath of fresh air

I hate that Teen Wolf drawing the more I look at it. It's just a mess of me trying too hard. Egh.. This weekend I got to look at this book 200 Best Illustrators in the World or something. I found two illustrators in Europe that seem to nail down exactly what I've been wanting to get to for a while now: Tanja Szekessy (left) and Jan Feindt (right)
Both illustrators just ooze incredible line variation. Feindt's linework is insane, but in his colorwork, he opts for a lot of shading and lighting. I'm leaning more towards the color palette of Szekessy, where she does beaaaautiful flat colors. I love the texture of her colors as well. Inspired by these two, I played around with this illustration of the great Clark Duke and Michael Cera. I see where I need to have a greater range in my line quality, but I'm very happy with my colors. I feel like I'm heading somewhere I really want to be now. More to come hopefully.
