I think it does show, but yours look a better to me than Nomura's because of the less "busy" or complex designs, i really dislike some of them. Regarding The World Ends With You, it shows less, but still on the shading.
You got some nice art here, i like it.

Hmm, I'm not sure anymore where exactly I get my inspiration from...

When I first started being serious about drawing I was very into Rumiko Takahashi, espacially Inuyasha and Ranma½. The way she does hands and her more goofy expressions and way of drawing clothes is still showing in my style I think.

Lately I've been into Mamoru Hosoda, and his very lanky characters. The way he illustrates movement, the way his characters run I find fascinating. They feel kinda boneless, yet subtly detailed (More in the actual film, this is cover art, but couldn't find a good image of what I mean).

I think I'm also starting to take a page out of Kaoru Mori's book and making my art more detailed.

I'm also very fond of the style in the Avatar series

And then there's a Danish comic creator called Peter Madsen I have been a fan of since I was a child. He makes a series of comics about the Nordic Gods, I highly recommend them

He can also do cute things, but I personally like his dramatic stuff better :slight_smile:

Doraemon was my first manga, so I used to draw like it.

Then I fell in love with Digimon's overall art style

Then there were times I loved drawing triangle noses and spiky hair like Conan's.

Then I started drawing sparkly eyes like this female character from Mermaid Melody:

Detailed hair like these characters from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne

And then facial expressions from Yu Gi Oh:

There are other mangas that have inspired my art style but these are the major ones. I'm glad all those things have helped me find my current style :slight_smile:

I HAVE ALOT OF INSPIRATION

the first one is disney. so much disney. specifically Glen keane, Brittany lee, and Jin Kim.

also even though I worry that it never shows. but I do take alot of Inspiration from studio Ghibli / studio Ponoc. Mostly in backgrounds, creatures, and even just how it's animated to make emotions and feeling so much MORE that it is.


I'm also Inspired by cartoon saloon

and The Webcomic Ava's Demon1

@Thesleepypencil I think Ghibli has inspired so many artists these days, and it's so refreshing. Anime-inspired art tends to come off a little same-y, where as Ghibli inspired work still carries with it the weight of emotion and strong character design. It would be a lie if I said I wasn't also inspired by Ghibli.

As for my own inspirations, my most recent can be traced to a few sources:

I absolutely adore the work of Mini Ludvin https://www.instagram.com/miniludvin/?hl=en4
Her work is also very Ghibli-esk, and that's probably what inspired me originally. Whatever the case, her designs actually inspired the design of my main character, Noa, from my comic The Stone Gods.

As well, the art of Monster Hunter (as well as the whole series) has been a huge influence on me. Their character designs and costume designs are incredible!

The colouring style of K. Michael Russel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCps08eOJfFRm00TE5LStIIg1 has also been a huge inspiration to me. His work really changed the way I colour. Not to mention his regular art.

mostly I was taught and copied my style from my sister XD

the rest is me learning from Markcryllies, knkl show, both are on youtube =), and a bunch of traditional drawing books

the only things i can think of on top of my head is i have a lot of anime/manga and deviantart inspiration growing up that devoloped my style :grinning:


I really liked shoujo manga when i was young and i thought arina's work was fantastic


i currently really like the way yixtape colors

i used to really like yamio's work but now it's too shiny for my eyes lol

Here's my webcomic:

I got inspired by The Amazing World of Gumball and maybe a little bit of Twin Peaks? xD

I've read a ton of different comics, but I'll say these are the ones that has inspired my artstyle in some way.



Don Rosa work on Scrooge McDuck. He has a great eye for detail and use of environments.


André Franquins run of Spirou. Franquin had this amazing energy to his drawings. One of the great masters of comics.



Tom Poes by Marten Toonder. I like the style and the use of screentones.


De Cape et de Crocs by Alain Avroles and Jean-Luc Masbou. This is probably my biggest inspiration to my comic Vulperra. I love the colouring and humor in this series.

What inspired my art and comic the most is Dark souls. Oh boy I love this game.
but mostly I got inspired from my childhood cartoons and anime
like Samurai shamploo, draonball Z, Naruto and Adventure time .
after that I developed my own artstyle based on those influences to come up with art like that

I will be talking about this in reference to my current webcomic Project SHaDe

For the longest time, probably one of the catalysts to starting this webcomic, was Ishida Sui's Tokyo Ghoul (specifically the first manga - :re is quite stylish, but it doesn't have the same gritty touch of the first one)

Lately, I've also been inspired by Jiro Matsumoto's artstyle, especially after reading Freesia

May update this later, but these are the things that come to mind quickly as of now.

My comic, Fairy Stories4, is influenced by the comics and cartoons I grew up with....Bugs Bunny, Calvin and Hobbes, Blondie, and Disney. Its colored like a Sin City comic because that's the way my mind works.

I can't say for sure what inspired the art style as a whole, but I know some elements were inspired from cartoons I watched as a kid like The Simpsons or Spongebob. Honestly it feels like I've had the same style for years but now I'm finally beginning to refine it as I work on my comic.

Long answer: Lol this probably sounds weird but I never really thought about it? Although my style has evolved A LOT over the years I've never really had a style inspiration. Way back in high school I used to only like Japanese styles, taking a little from the various manga I liked. The most I remember about that time was I liked how Arina Tanemura drew eyes, so I started drawing eyes in a similar fashion.

Unfortunately this was the only thing I can find, and is from a little later when I was slowly phasing out of the Tanemura eyes. But there's still a tiny sliver of similarity in there. (not really)

In my later years of high school I started thinking "man, I wanna be like a real artist", and in my mind that was finding beauty in the human form and the aesthetics of the real world. At the time I thought real people and things were ugly, only thinking anime and manga looked pleasing.
During that mindset change I forced myself to only observe real people (mostly nude) and real things, losing all stylistic influence. My style just sorta evolved on it's own with the new changes. Any more off the top of my head my favorite styles come from Alphonse Mucha, H.R Giger, Norman Rockwell, and James Jean. But I can't say they've influenced my style because I haven't actively studied their work.




?????

¯_(ツ)_/¯

TL;DR: I never think about it so I don't know?

The original Pokemon and One Piece... but you wouldnt be able to fully tell from my comic XDD
