Dani Jones, the illustrator behind the long-running and very informative art blog, DaniDraws.com, has posted a list of 75 artists, including illustrators and cartoonists, that are suggested as “must know”, along with a good shot of 6 or 8 links to resources for each one.
There isn’t much in the way of description, just a quick phrase or sentence, but the artists are arranged by category.
You’ll find many artists here that I’ve featured over time on lines and colors, along with many I haven’t gotten to yet, but are on my list.
Whether it’s a definitive list is, of course, a matter of debate, and part of the fun. Jones invites comments about additions and suggestions for artists that others feel may have been left out.
Definitive or not, it’s a terrific list (and could be a major time sink, of course, so be prepared to spend some time being dazzled by great stuff).
Great find, Charley! Looking forwards to the time sink. There’s lots of personal faves at first glance…
Eek! That is awesome, but disturbing to me because my name is Dani. And I do enjoy drawing….
Thanks for the nod, Charley.
My pleasure, Dani. Thanks for the great post.
I will be a little mocky (?) but it seems to be a US list for US citizens…
You may be largely correct, Li-An, perhaps a good reason to write in with some suggestions.
