9. 竹 (TAKE-sensei)
Character designer and illustrator for games like Pokémon and World's End Club. Just overall fantastic designs, a great style with a rly clean use of shapes and some BANGER ANATOMY like look at these poses???? Their line and shape economy is out of this world
4. Can't mention Izumi Todo without mentioning the legend himself UMAKOSHI YOSHIHIKO-sensei. This man taught me how to own a character design when we draw it, what an art style even MEANS. His technique goes incredibly hard and I bet he draws so fast because he just KNOWS SO MUCH
3. Izumi Todo
This collective's work was MY CHILDHOOD and idk what even needs to be said lmao their cartoon influences, especially on the characters' body language is everything I ever hope to achieve with my silly little career
2. ORESAMA
Both their music and their graphic work (god bless utomaru-sensei) are what one would describe as MARI'S CUP OF TEA
Def give their music a chance, they're a pop group with this neo retro wave, very funky and groovy
My fav song from them is 銀河
1. SANRIO!!!!! Not only their line work (which is obvious) 1but they're a huge inspiration for my own merchandise and graphic design work, both their older and newer stuff
insanely fun stream today, look at all the pokémon we drew from memory today!!!
after months of doing "draw pokémon from memory" streams, I'm so happy with my improvement on porygon 😭😭
