Akira Toriyama:
Most recognise him due to his work on the highly successful
manga and anime, DragonBall/DragonBall Z/DragonBall GT. I’ve taken a lot of my
character design form this man especially in my spare time, I enjoyed boosting
my drawing potential through the use of drawing his characters and a lot of
them turned out rather well actually, this also helped me further develop anime
style and comic style character design which I had actually incorporated into
my character design and portfolio pieces as I displayed my own drawn work which
I had worked on at home. I take a lot of my influence from him mainly in my out
of college work, but I do still take a lot of influence from him. His style
incorporates very straight edge faces on many characters, and large hair on
many other characters too, in a few cases the characters actually do not have
these sorts of faces. The eyes are normally rectangular with circle/semi-circle
pupils. I really love his style, even the old 90’s designs he had done which
done looked the best, I am still amazed by and influenced by to this very day,
his work is a strong point in comic and manga style characters, that many other
manga designers and readers have taken influence from due to the hugely
celebrated series that is DragonBall.
