What's your drawing style?

[covalentKairanityke]

Man, y'all are amazing artists. Great artwork!

I don't know what my drawing style would be classified as, but I guess it would count as cartoon-ish/manga-ish with a side of geometric designs (since I draw armour designs and stuff, which is my main strength). Some examples:

Bill Watterson's Calvin and Hobbes is what inspired me to develop a syle, but then came Akira Toriyama's Dr.Slump, which I also enjoyed very much. I then became torn between western comics and Japanese manga drawing styles.... Somewhere along the way they became fused and I have no idea what's what anymore... haha.

My drawing style is influenced by Steve Purcell, Doug TenNapel and Rob Schrab the most.

Style is for people who can draw.

[dfujita67]

My biggest influences are Steve Ditko (Spiderman) and Moebius (European master) and just a little bit of me. And now for the shameless plug, my strip is entitled MIZFIT.

Definitely manga-ish, except for the noses. Well, for one of my comics, anyways.

I yell at the computer until lines appear. Does that count?

For Tapastic I was creatin a bonus comic that takes place outside of some already established comics I have on other sites. Since making fully rendered comic pages would take more time than I'm able to give right now, I decided to post "sketchy" comics.

Doing it this way is very stress-free for me, and my subscribers seem to like it. I get just as much compliments on the art (probably MORE) in this style than before when I was doing all my comics fully inked and either rendered in greyscale, or colored.

So, it's a pretty cool little experiment I'm doing on Tapastic.

@GlanceReviver, just went back with this topic and I saw that you have really nice characters even if it's just sketchy . Just saying ^_^

[GlanceReviver]

Thanks a lot, I appreciate that!

[JigokuNeko]

Lol, I can't find a name for my style since all the influences I picked up along the years show up; from american to manga to european mash-up. I think I'm more french-scene influenced generally though I've kept lots of elements from my once torrid love affair with manga and anime.

Say cheese!

[phoenixrenaissance]

There's no getting around it. My style is completely manga/anime based. I at least think that I've played around and developed it enough that it's no longer copying the influences of one artist but it could use some more development yet.

[stefminnie00]

I'd say my style is manga-influenced, though I like semi-realism and realism a lot. <33

My drawing style is Often Sloppy, Sometimes Gory, but Always Cute

[Pandastrophic]

I found that ever since I saw Takehiko Inoues artwork I wanted an semi-realistic anime style, I just love how detailed his works are and how all the characters have very different faces.

I have a lot of other influences but I feel like his art really after my style the most.

I also really liked color, and I liked my art to be very colorful, it's currently not as colorful as I want it to be but I'm working slowly towards that. So yeah I think my current style is semi-realist anime with a heavier lean on the anime side.

[mjmassey]

It's clearly anime/manga inspired, but I'm hoping to steer it away from that towards more Western/European cartoony. I'd love to be able to either do a realistic style or highly stylized look someday, but I doubt that'll happen. I also like to do complex, realistic architecture drawings here and there.

[missieanthony]

To describe it, it is fresh, funny, colourful. It s like cartoon because of the simple representation, but sometimes i add more details to make it more serious. It depends on the type of comic or drawing.

I guess my style is half toon half manga. My art style is varied... not my digital artwork, my sketch artwork.

[Lkn]

my style is 100% manga.

[danitasibert]

I have to say that my style mostly consist of that anime feel, along with more pronoun features than the normal anime style.
At least i am going off of what others have been telling me when they see my work for the first time
i really love it, its not too overly real and its not too cartoony. ( I love this styles as well, but for me its not what i am as an artist)
i mostly love to draw humans, but i can do animals as well.

I now currently go for the more realistic end that still contains the spirit of manga. For example:

I prefer a slightly blurred smudgy background look. Particularly for if the buildings are in the distance.
