Victorian polymath & colossus John Ruskin was born #OTD in 1819. Ruskin was a superb draughtsman with an intense eye on the natural world. We highly recommend 'An Instinct to Draw' by Prof Stephen Wildman celebrating Ruskin's drawings at the @AshmoleanMuseum for #WednesdayWonder
Gustaf Tenggren's concept art for Walt Disney's Pinocchio, which was released #OTD in 1940. His original influences were grounded in Scandinavian folklore & fairy tales. A huge influence on Tenggren's style was John Bauer.
