>>5754883Honestly, anyone I can learn from. I don't care whether digital or trad, heck, even coom can be interesting from a technical perspective.
Like, Bouguereau is great for technique, calm human subjects. Manga & western animators got a great variety in expression. Bierstadt may be one of the best studio landscape artists, Tischler too, perhaps to a lesser degree, but I can watch his lengthy tutorials on YouTube. Zbuvkick has a much more spontaneous style, perfect for quick sketch/composition studies/working out brushwork / learning to reverse-engineer a process. A random stranger on the Internet may have a great digital study for cake textures that nobody would do with trad tools.
Etc, etc.
Anyone who can teach me is my teacher.
