TANGENTS!

I like

TUMBLR.

There's a 

TON

of 

inspiring

art stuff

to

ENDLESSLY

scroll

through.

I especially like

the educational stuff.

For instance,

Chris Schweizer's

Guide to Spotting Tangents

The long line is when a line from one object runs directly 
into the line of another.  This is the tangent that everybody knows.  
The one that’s easiest to spot, easiest to avoid.  

For a lot of folks, this is the only thing meant 
when one refers to a “tangent.” 

I'm not familiar with 

Mr. Schweizer

or his work

but I like him already.

Anyone that can track down and kill a

yucky tangent is alright in my book.

He's mainly talking about 

tangents in comics,

but these rules apply to

animation

storyboards

and layout, too.

A good part of my day is spent watching animation

 that comes back from overseas studios

and finding ways to fix problems like these:

This is just a teeny taste

of what 

Mr. Schweizer

is out to learn ya.
