I don't know much about Mirko Hanak, a Czech man who painted in a very Chinese brushwork-inspired watercolour style. Gorgeous animal paintings, though! I can't get over his brushwork!
Ken Hultgren, the author of my absolute favourite drawing how-to books, "The Art of Animal Drawing." He was also an animator for Disney in the 40s/50s.
His ability to show form and anatomy in such quick, gorgeous ink sketches have been so inspiring to me my whole adult life.
Eyvind Earle, the KING of gorgeous stylized landscapes.
You might recognize his style from the backgrounds of Disney's "Sleeping Beauty." He did a lot of concept art for that movie in the '50s.
