I would say that Ronald Searle's work is probably the most influential on my personal drawing style. Not necessarily directly; but I have grown to learn that a lot of other artists and illustrators that I admire are almost certainly influenced by him, for example Gerald Scarfe and Quentin Blake. When I first came across his work, I was shocked at how stylistically similar my work is to his, and I fell in love with him instantly. I love the way that he uses inks, both in heavy and dark lines, and watered down to create sweeping graduated tones.
