I have been babysitting my two younger nephews these past few weeks and they have a particular routine. After school, they like to have a snack and relax a bit by watching cartoons. Lately they have been into watching cartoon network's featured animation called Steven Universe. Its an interesting cartoon of its combination of sci-fi, comedy, and action. While watching for the first time, I thought it was different in the sense of their animation and drawings. I was intrigued, so I researched their creator and this is where I discovered Rebecca Sugar; Animation Director.

From my research I found that Steven Universe is inspired by her brother, Steven who is in fact, the main character of the cartoon. I not only thought the graphics were cool, but I also liked how she personalized the concept of her cartoon. I stumbled across clips of her doing a Q & A for cartoon network and I really enjoyed her advice to young designers.
