Around a year ago a good friend of mine (Andrew Campbell of Monkey’s Inc.),  recommended a couple short YouTube clips to me by LeSean Thomas (animator/illustrator/director/etc).

I found those vids pretty inspiring and have since subscribed to his channel on YouTube. He’s now in Seoul working on his own graphic novel. Somehow he still manages to find time to create nice short clips to motivate budding artists and fans.

His dedication and effort stand out as massive driving forces toward his success. What takes this beyond the informative value of a tutorial or biography is that you get to hear first hand how LeSean discovered new inspiration and the strategies that strategy that LeSean devised and still uses to measure and progress his level of expertise.
