Thank you so much 🥰 It's a lot of work! I actually have my degree in 2d animation and so keeping proportions is my bread and butter. It really has to do with perspective and volumes. But to keep it simple, I made a quick little tutorial for you, I hope it helps. You can also look for pdfs of the Animators Survival Kit which breaks it down even further.

This is a fun one! Took me a while to come up with an answer. I think a lot of things inspire my designs (very broad answer, I know) but to break it down:

I take inspiration in a lot of things though. For my characters, I grew up on Disney movies, you couldn’t read me away from them. Atlantis and Fantasia 2000 were big ones. I also loved Dreamworks Sinbad and Prince of Egypt.

Comics have influenced me too, Brigada by Enrique Fernandez is a fascinating study, and so is anything by Mike Mignola. Same goes for fairytale books. Look up Sheila Beckett.

After taking a few art history classes I’ve gained an appreciation for a lot of art, but the ancient Minoan frescoes are some of my favorites.

Those things have helped direct my style, they direct my lines. Of course over the years I’ve developed my own unique voice and can find inspiration in outfits or even just colors that I see online. Sometimes I go down a research rabbit hole and learn something new that inspires. It’s an exciting process.
