HNH Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I am an illustrator and would like to learn more about traditional style designs. Does anyone have suggestions on where to start? Tracing flash sheets, emulating artists I like, etc.? I wanted to reach out to people on this forum because I would like to learn the right way and respect the tradition of the style. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Find some books on Sailor Jerry. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=sailor+jerry&rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Asailor+jerry I'm sure he's rolling in his grave with how accessible the designs are.
