Art style has a name?

Just wondering, when you draw naturally and people say "oh, so you follow .......... style"
So I think "did all drawing technique have name?"

When there is enough of a "thing" or said "thing" is so different than anything else before it one can start categorizing the differences and similiars. That is how to get different mediums and genres. Given how most languages are, if it doesn't have a name its hard to talk about.

This is suppose to be helpful, but some people take advantage to stuff various things into a box that actually doesn't fit and if it takes off, the poor works are trapped with that label regardless of how much it doesn't fit with each other. A popular abrasive one is "anime style" despite the fact it rarely has anything to do with the technique of animation and more just throwing anything under a certain cloud of aesthetics regardless of medium. A good many of those said aesthetics don't originate from Japan, for extra irony.

A proper example used is called "rubberhose" this originated from the medium of animation, for general ease of animating. Its a style about deformity. There is no set "skeletons" within characters in rubberhose. Most modern popular example right now is Cuphead. While it was designed as a tool for animating, thanks to its aesthetic appeal it does get used in other media as well.

"did all drawing technique have name?"

No, not every technique or style has a specific name. And even if it has a name among one group, it may have a different one among others. Like borzoiteeth pointed out, it probably doesn't have a name unless a lot of people do it. But even then, within a "named" art style, there's going to be wild variations.

Like "western comics" is considered a style, ala Marvel and DC. But the Rob Liefeld style is completely different from Jim Lee, while both still being considered "standard" for that type of art. Each artist has their own style, so the names given to the styles are really just categories of style. So once you get down to the individual artist, it's really just their name that's the name of the style. Because even when people try to mimic something like the Frank Miller style, it's different from when he does it.

Rubberhose is such an awesome art style, Spinel from the Steven Universe's movie is based on that style.
besides Cuphead, there's also the game Bendy and the Ink Machine, gosh those cartoons from the 1930s are so fcking trippy, if anyone reading this post wants to nail that style, there's a how-to-draw book for free named "Cartooning Self-Taught by Bill Nolan," the author Bill Nolan is best known for creating and perfecting the rubber hose style, the book is in public domain, so it's really free.
