Hayao Miyazaki: An Influential Part Of My Career

Hayao Miyazaki is a very influential part of my choice of my career, having seen so many of his movies as a child and now still watching them, it has done nothing but continue to fuel my love of animation. He began to work as an animator at studio Toei Douga in 1963, grabbing everyone's attention with his amazing art works and ideas. In 1973 after transferring to Nippon Animation, there he was able to bring about some classics such as: Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979) and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984). The success of the film (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)) brought him to a place in his life where he was able to start his very own animation studio; Studio Ghibli.
All this success from Hayao Miyazaki honing his natural ability of art and embracing all the strange ideas he has had for beautiful movies has brought me lots of hope for when I am feeling like all I turn out is chicken scratch. His efforts have never been fruitless in making everyone, including people who do not watch Anime, enjoy his movies.

The very flow of the lines drawn create a lot of dynamic movement, which I believe to be one of Hayao Miyazaki's greatest skills. The tousled look of the characters hair and the wide eyed look in their eyes express the many emotions, awestruck and wonder are two of them that come to
