Herge, the author of Tintin. The mechanical perfection of his ligne claire drawings, inspired by Japanese woodcuts, with the color perfectly staying inside all those lines, and with some subtle gradations here and there, instantly won me over as a child. I then spent untold hours lying on the floor trying to copy the drawings of vehicles in there - cars, planes, trains and such. Happy memories, a long time ago.

Ah, very very cool. It’s always interesting to know what people were first drawn to, and how they first started playing around with art. Thanks for sharing your story!
