Do you have more than one artstyle?

[lampGuitar]

I dont know what its like to be a popular online artist but my guess is that when a creator posts something that gets a lot of traffic and their goal is to get more of that, the logical response is to make more of similar looking art because it's already proven itself as something more successful than the other art thats been posted before. But them's just my two cents.

Different styles for different projects that's what me pappy told me, tho when I'm sketching i do have a default cartoony style.

For anything that's going to get any kind of polish, I change my style to suit the needs of the project.

I really like how you draw eyes in your comics, they're so dramatic and shoujo~

[catluckey]

lampGuitar, thank you so much! Ever since I saw anime and read some manga 6 or 7 years ago, I fell in love with their eyes. I'm so happy you like them. Luv n hugs to you.

I'm being so selfish. I just noticed you did the cartoon sketches above and I love them. I'm checking out your story "Corebound" and I really like it. SUBBING!

I hope you can check out mines, "The Watchman". Luv n hugs to you.

Mmm... I think that I should learn to draw satisfactorily in one style first before trying others
But since I'm trying realism with a small bias to anime, I still can use some variety inside this style, changing this bias.

Sometimes I'm trying to draw as strictly as I can, for example if I'm trying to copy the photo of the real person:

And sometimes I'm trying to be more flexible and experimental (well, "experimental" as much as I can without turning my drawing into skew scribbles, LOL), for example, if I'm drawing manga character:

I am more of an obscure artist, so I can't speak to you in popular person perspective. I think it's good to be able to offer wide variety of style while some of your elements staying consistent, I have seen artists who are big having multiple or at least two styles

I have multiple art styles myself, and some came as result of medium difference. I often wondered to myself if I have a consistent style or not. Their development and utilization varies.

Examples below (sorry for spam)

Main traditional style.

Main digital style

Digital prism style.

Digital chibi style (not Aquaman)

Traditional cutesy style.

Semi-Cartoon style

[TheFalseVyper]

I have multiple styles depending on the mood I'm wanting to portray in my comic! Style changes also work really great with expressions too!

I reserve my semi-realistic style for normal scenes and regular talking:

For something with more comedy, I'll use chibis or something cartoony:

As I mentioned earlier, changing styles is also really great for showing emotion!

Don't be afraid to experiment! I feel like getting the tone or thought across is better than having to stay with a set style. Changing it up also keeps your readers more engaged because they will never fully know what to expect!

Beside my usual anime style, I sometime do semi realistic style as well, but this style take too much time so I normally I don't free enough for it..

The picture with cat-lady in luxurious dress looks scrumptious! You could try to draw something else in the same style!
"Prism style" seems mysterious and magical. When I've seen it, I've recalled about astral world from your novel, and thought that it could be suitable for illustrations of those world (at least how I imagine it)
And... wait, does the last picture depicts Keane? I can't remember exactly if I've seen this picture before or not... it seems like I didn't But why? It would be great illustration for Karana as well!

Pretty much it depends on what medium I use. On paper manually, I have semi realistic style using pen/pencil/watercolor. Digitally especially when drawing comic I have my current style that leans toward anime-ish but not so much and it's more clean than my semi-realistic style. Now if you count doodle style I have this style that uses hatching and not very clean lineart. ^^

[akemikae]

Full on anime/manga style is my usual go to.

Been experimenting with semi-realism here and there, which is actually incredibly relaxing.

And uh, chibis, I guess? xD

[DasIstWunderblyat]

Thank you very much
It's actually my primary style before I learned digital, but it's more painstaking and longer to produce. I resort to drawing digitally for quick drawings, to fill gaps between traditional ones.

Yes it's Keane You have seen picture of him but not this one.

[mgxzer0]

My styles are varied, but recently I'm more focused on Anime or anime-ish styles depending on the series or objective I'm trying to fulfill. But I did the basic cartoon/western style before but that was a long time ago.

[mgxzer0]

That is freaking amazing!

[spadesart]

when i draw sundown characters vs spire characters, sundown is definitely way more cartoony and stylized while spire leans more into heavier detail and shading. i also can mostly freehand all of the sundown characters and use more continuous/flowing lines while spire characters need more construction and detailed rendering when i draw them.

i think the reason for it is that my original idea for sundown was for it to be a concept for an adult action cartoon, decided to just make it a novel instead because i was too excited to start working on that idea. when i started spire i really wanted it to have a lot of complicated coloring which i.......kinda regret in the long run? but i feel like im too far to make any drastic changes to the art style without disappointing readers.

The art in my comic is an extremely simplified version of my actual style to get it done quickly. Other than that I tend to stick to a cartoony formula though with realistic anatomy. I don't find any reason to stray from that.

[HGohwell]

I like to mess around with different styles. I like to experiment and see how I can use things from different styles into my style and what I can learn. But I do have a few styles depending on time taken. As well as a really quick simple catroony style I've got a style I'm mostly settled with and just change little things with and I rarer style that takes a lot of time and effort but is totally work it when it works.

Comic art in my more settled style vs the rare occasion I decide to take a week and a half on a single piece art (it's still not finished don't look at it too much)

[A-weird-girler]

yeah I have my chibi art style, my normal art style, and the comic art style which I'm also using for the animatic. You can see examples here:

I just have varying degrees of anime/manga (；・∀・) so my current 2 comics just have 'styles' to match their tone

I also like trying out other artist's styles when I can (but I'm pretty predictable in the aesthetics I like haha)

[joannekwan]

YES!

Each of my series is done in a different style! It lets me play around more and keeps me from getting bored.

[user404]

I can't really survive sticking to just one art style, I'm glad to say I can go from simple to semi-realistic!
