Bruce Timm
Rod Guen
Bruce Timm and Rod Guen are both American comic book artists. Bruce Timm is most famous for the cartoon series he developed, "Batman: The Animated Series"; and Rod Guen publishes his own comics but has also done work for Marvel and DC. Both artists have been a major influence on my art for the past year.  They're very knowledgeable about anatomy and it shows through their confident brush marks and stylization. Bruce Timm's style in particular is instantly recognizable, the characters he creates are very unique and have a lot of personality. Rod Guen's drawings are also very alive and, particularly in his figurative work, flowing.

I'm not very interested in drawing my own comics, however Bruce Timm's clean and simple linework and Rod Guen's excellent anatomy skills are very inspiring and something to strive for. I drew my copy with a brushpen and washes of black ink. Observing artists and replicating their techniques is a very good exercise and something I should definitely do more of.
