Where I want to be.

In the future I plan to be a well known illustrator and graphic novelist. I plan to create a full graphic novel and self publish it. My main inspiration for illustration is Disney, mainly looking at the older movies such as the lion king and the lady and the tramp. These styles have always stood out to me as they look 'old fashioned', and you can see the detail in the line work. The characters always look 'alive', due to their almost human like facial expressions and body language. Disney always makes their characters very lovable which makes you fall in love with the films. I grew up watching Disney movies and I would always watch the Disney channel on TV. I have always wanted to visit Disney Land, it looks magical just like the films, it looks very exciting and fun, like you could never feel down when you're there, which is another reason I love Disney. The movies can make you feel all sorts of different emotions, but in the end they always make you happy and relieved. Image result for the lion kingImage result for the lady and the tramp
My inspiration for wanting to be a graphic novelist is mainly because I love writing story's, new idea's come to my mind all the time and I would love to make them all into my own graphic novels. I am very interested in the layouts and style of the graphic novel genre. I was first interested in Manga, as I grew up watching anime and wanted to read a Manga as my friends would tell me that the Manga's are usually better than the Anime as they have more information in them, and so I bought a Manga and read it, and loved it. I was fascinated by how it looked like the images were actually moving on the page as I read them. I was very interested in the art in the way that the characters were drawn. I then discovered an Artist that shared a similar interest in Disney, Anime and wolves, just like me, I was blown away by her art work, I liked the uniqueness of her characters and I could see the movement in a still drawing. I discovered that she had created her own graphic novel based on wolves, I then rushed to her website and had to buy it. I loved the story and the designs of the characters, backgrounds and even the way the pages were layed out. This is what inspired me to turn my own wolf story into a graphic novel. I had been working on this story for 6 years before I had found this artist but I was never completely sure what it would turn out to be, as I had all of my characters designed, but the story had no pictures as I would write it for hours on end.
