I"ve just finished a new Zooniverse animation based on the theme of "future" see it here ---- > [link]
Believe it or not this sequence was taken from page 11 of the Zooniverse movie script that I wrote back in 2005.
I even storyboarded the sequence around 2000. The 3 surveyor characters designs go back to 1999 I even modeled a CG spaceship for them that I traced in Flash for this animation.
I hope you enjoy it!

The next loop challenge, for the theme "bang" is due in 12 days, I will be animating another sequence from the movie which includes the surveyors again. I still have to get started!
If it's traditional Western animation (rather than Anime) start with Preston Blair: [link]
Google his name by image and study the scans from his books.
Here is another resource that might help:

I am completely self taught and don't see formal schooling as the only avenue. Practical work helps you learn and grow as an artist. I recommend that you consider submitting to the monthly Loop De Loop challenges like I do. [link]
It's a good way to practice and test out ideas to a theme and a deadline, I'm finding it a good discipline for my work.
I hear you on the Math test doodling thing I did the same thing.
Just so you know, I didn't work on Jumanji, the network wanted Everett and I went on to do XGB. Everett was always freelance and the Jumanji team were located in another building, so I rarely saw him, just his faxes of designs.
Richard Raynis was our mutual friend otherwise I doubt that we would have spent any time together. Our work and attitudes are very distinct, and me being significantly younger meant that Everett never really accepted me on any equal terms.
Richard is my only mentor but even though he is an amazing artist, he kept that side hidden from me. He was more the guy who kept asking me to reach for more, eventually he exhausted me and I needed space to recover. Although we haven't spoken for years he is a very good friend.
However I can say that while still a teenager I heard a quote that I have lived by, "Everything is your guru".
I learn from everything and every situation, even inanimate objects teach me. My mentor is life, the artist that inspires me is nature.
Thanks for the info, sorry about my inaccuracies. I wish you all the best.
I uploaded some storyboards on the Zooniverse blog by the way.
