My drawing style was influence by HUNTER X HUNTER AND FAIRYTAIL. They have simple drawing yet brilliant STORY. simple drawing can turn into dark story or romance etc. if you know what i mean.

... I don't know. I draw somehow more or less realistically but I add white of the eye and additional colors to everything so that it gets some personality and atmosphere. It's my most favorite style.

And TBH I don't take what people say seriously. I have even been told this is a manga bird. Does this look like a manga bird to you? smile

Not sure what my style is at this point, started from anime and then branched off into semi-realism a couple years ago. I think semi-realism is a bit too broad a way to describe an art style these days though. My art style currently is a product of about 12 years of influence ranging from shoujo manga to classical Greek sculpture. I'm stuck on the linework methods typical of anime and graphic styles and I have no talent for painting, but I also strive towards a much more naturalistic figure typical of classical art.

No not at all, a manga bird would be a circle woth two dots for eyes and a beak. It's cute, but I regconize your style, t's your own.

Maybe it's the eyes? The eyes alone are very manga-esque. The style however is incredible, and incredibly yours alone.

I did develop my style without copying anyone but i still think that they look like a mix of the charachters i said earlier i guess

Funny my style is still growing and depends of what I am doing the style change like if I am doing comics my style is more simple and right to the point (?) but if it is more serious it can be kind of a fantasy or manga style and if it is for art work or painting it is kind of realistic so yeah...
I guess my original drawing style would be something like this

Hey, great topic! Howdy Tapastic community! My style is American comic book influenced with nods to artists like Art Adams, Jim Lee, Mike Mignola, Jae Lee, Adam Hughes and other guys/gals that do highly detailed stuff. I'm also heavily influenced by the classical artists like Albrect Durer, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci etc... Again, artists that do very detailed realism. My backgrounds have a manga influence in that I employ a lot Japanese "masking" in which the characters are inked in a strongly black and white style and the backgrounds utilize a lot more grey. This helps my characters "pop" off the backgrounds nicely if i nail it. In truth I was not influenced so much by actual manga in this technique but in a secondary way through the art of guys like Dave Sim and Gerhard, Martin Wagner and others who use it well. In the end I'd like for my art to stand on its own stylistically and for those who see it to not instantly recall my influences. For this reason I try very hard not to do comics"The Marvel Way" or DC way or in a strongly manga style etc... There are of course a lot of drawbacks to that because the overwhelming majority of readers are deeply indoctrinated into the standard story-telling "language" established by those companies and regional styles. Figuring out how to do it "my way" is a matter of never ending trial-and-error!

Oh my glob, guys. Most of you have the most complex(?) styles! But I know, I know, I'm still young and I could still improve T__T

My styles differ depending on what I'm doing. This first drawing is a chibi style for Togire! where I like to sketch my lines in rather than making them perfect and I use big blocks of colour. I just think it suits the comic.


This is from a manga idea I'm working on when I have time to spare. This one is a lot heavier on detail but I do like working this way. This is pencilled and inked by hand as I don't wish to do all my work digitally.

And this is also pen on paper. This is a crossover illustration I did for a friends birthday using a bunch of different materials (graphite and coloured pencils, ink, watercolour.)

My art style has always been really scruffy, sketchy. In a nice way, sure, but still sketchy. When i started getting into western comics, I was terrified that I'd have to crack down on getting a really clean, pristine drawing, like those in comics like Ultimate Spider-Man. Then I found Adrian Alphona's Ms Marvel, and the art was really good, but really sketchy. I took tips from his work to make mine more mature and break away from my manga phase, while keeping my own individual style (hopefully)


that's alphona's


that's mine

My art style in comics is manga style. I grew up reading a lot of manga so it's the style I easily became comfortable using in my comics. I plan to venture on the webtoon world someday but I bet my style would still be the same but in color.
I am very open about art styles in other comics, though! :3

My art style is a pretty strange mix between anime and disney. (Or so I'm told.) I have no idea how it turned out this way, but I try to make it as clean and nice looking as possible. I prefer to do lots of solid shading and coloring. Mostly cell shade. I add line weight to my lineart as well to give it that "comic" look, but I'm unsure if it makes a difference or not.


I tend to change my style at least a little bit every time I start a new project. So mine is kind of all over the place. In the past few years I've used:

thin lines with sell shading,

thick lines with very limited color,

no lines with flat colors and simple shapes,

and "organic" looking line work and shading with limited color.

Maybe one day I'll learn to stick to a style for more than five minutes, but for now I seem to have art ADD.
