What would you call your art style?

[grovylegirl]

I know that there are a lot of different types of art styles. But I noticed whenever I talk to someone who isn't familiar with art styles they either assume that there's only realistic and anime styles. I was wondering what would you guys call your own art styles?

[KoreanTacos]

according to most people bad, lol. Um I dunno mixture of anime/amateur...

[grovylegirl]

Art styles are never really consistent and you're always improving I think that in the future you'll have great art!

[mappypaint]

I'm not sure... Mappy style I guess?XD might be the 90's anime style.

hmm... gestural? when drawing from life especially, im extremely messy, in a precise way. i have friends that draw very neat and constricted, with very accurate results, but i draw significantly freer, with a lot more gesture, sacrificing accuracy usually. that continues in my comics art; i abandon realism a lot in search of gesture, and my arts often describes as 'chaotic yet precise.' also, everything that can glow, glows.

Not sure. I spent a number of years emulating my fave comic book artists, then went total left field and started incorporating a bit of manga/anime style & somewhat angular style into my art. Now I've come almost full circle and I'm incorporating some elements of realistic style back into my stuff.

I wish I knew what to call it. American - anime - cartoon style. I like bold bright colors and thick lines.
I was more influenced by early JRPG art, Neopets, and drawing with my friends.

Crappy.
(filler filler)

[SpavVy]

Uhhh...for my comic Soul Ascendance I guess it's some kind of weird and dark type of anime style?

[miesmud]

I usually describe it as "soft". But I guess you can call it anime-ish.

[spadesart]

i call it Trying To Rip Off Kiwi Byrd's Style But It's Too Cartoony To Quite Get There

[joannekwan]

Joanne's not-quite anime not-quite western but definitely not realism - ism in three and a half flavors: cartoony, geometric, serious, and geometric serious.

[indagold]

Welcome Back was some weird mixed media pseudo satirical hippie hipsterish nightmare.
Garden Of Mold simplistic vectorized dreamworld
All Broken Gods Will soon be a neon blood bath

[Mharz]

I've always been influenced by 90s and 2000 anime. So my drawings heavily leans on the anime style but at the same time I took out the elements that I don't like in the anime (insanely big eyes, simple line noses) but at the same time I don't want it to be realistic.

People (especially western-style artist) says my style is too "anime" and "generic" I don't really know but I really love my style because I can justify the scenes I really want. LOL.

But I just call it the Mharz style in different tiers (though it's actually just variations of rendering.)
Tier 1 - flat tones.
Tier 2 - black and white inks with bizarre hatching tricks
Tier 3 - cel shaded the most anime-looking of them all
Tier 4 - absolute digital painting, lineless

[Kayke]

I used to say my style was ligne claire but I don't know if I feel like it still fits into that category since my line width has gotten a bit chunky over the years. I still like doing detailed backgrounds and cartoony characters though.

I guess when I'm trying to explain my style to non-cartoonists I usually say "modern indie comic style - think Scott Pilgrim"

[BubooSenchan]

My art style is sexy xd

[blinkingkills]

i call my art style "read too much yaoi in middle school and even though grew out of it can't get rid of the influence"

[fighterxaos]

It was originally just "Toriyama style" But now... sometimes I call it "cartoonime" basically anime influence but I go toward more exaggerated cartooniness than realism.

[VermillionWorks]

Kinda 80-90s dark anime-influenced style combined with a mixed bag of other art and film influences, in other words I dunno. XD "Semi-pseudo-anime noir"?

[monotone_ink]

I guess my style is a mixture of the general anime/manga aesthetic, and the illustrations for Moomin. I've started using grey tones less and relied more on the use of line to create tone.
