I recently found this interview from one of my favourite artist, Takato Yamamoto, (the link is here:
http://www.juxtapoz.com/current/takato-yamamoto) What surpried me is how painterly this man's technique is, when I see his art it looks very tight and mechanical due to the look of woodblock prints, even when I tried to emulate people like Aubrey Beardsley and Vania Zouravliov I always found my ink being badly coagulated since I was basically drawing and not using any print techniques... so in future I have got to try printing! He also has an interview with Yoji Shinkawa in the Art of Metal Gear Solid 2 book. It's rare to find an interview but it's great when I find one.
Another thing that I will do is practice more in my free time with digital techniques, maybe using a computer can help me emulate Yamamoto's technique too or maybe I'll have to do it the old fashioned way, what ever it maybe I have to try and find what works for me.
