Comics for the comics enthusiast: Yoshihiro Tatsumi

If you are an illustrator, or a cartoonist...

P.S - don't read this if you've just started out, read it after you've struggled with cartooning..then you'll feel like this is a treasure of knowledge..

so..if you're a cartoonist or an illustrator...then check out Yoshihiro Tatsumi, i don't read his books because for their story..i read them because his work teaches you things...you can seee how his style develops through the years...

check this when he was 21

now you might see how his shapes are very basic, how he doesn't go into the fuck ups of anatomy etc..

and this is his later work..

you can clearly see how his strokes, shapes and actually everything has changed over the years...

Yoshihiro Tatsumi...reaed him out...
