The frenzied lines in Will’s work communicate energy and speed. The artist appears to be searching for the image to reveal itself as he works.

Will’s watercolor animated figures demonstrate a knowledge of classic animation principles: strong line of action, clear silhouettes, anticipation, among those principles.
