Audrey Kawasaki is totally awesome, she got me started on the nude women kick that I can't seem to shake off right now. I love her graphic line because she doesn't have to use it, she's a painter and can use values masterfully, but I genuinely think she enjoys using line.
This Barbara Canepa's work. She also had a hand in my obsession with the female body. This picture really reminds me of Schele's piece with the two women. They are wrapped together in a similar way. Haha, can you believe she used to work for Disney with this piece lol I think she does her own comic and magazine through Marvel now.
This is Junko Muzino, I really love her twisted fairy tale comics and the way she treats hair on her characters. Layers and layers of it. I try to copy it sometimes, but I tend to do this from memory instead of looking at her work at the same time. I came up with own version of this hair through that but I never got to master Muzino's hair exactly.
I'm doing master copies of these artist soon. :D
