John Watkiss was a British artist, painter, and instructor whose career took him from portrait painting and comic books to storyboard art and visual development for major films. He taught anatomy and fine art at the prestigious Royal College of Art, as well as to a cross-section of London's creative community, which included fine artists, animators, and sculptors. Watkiss was a true visionary; for him, painting was a means of showing the world a vision he had seen "with my mind not with my eyes". He considered careful observation merely a tool—the ultimate goal was always to draw from pure knowledge and imagination.
