Who are some artists that influenced your Art and overall Style?

[Bokyongyo]

Was wondering what artists over the course of y’all’s art journey influenced you the most and had a impact on how your current style is developed?

Some of mine comes down to 3;

1. Bryan Lee O’Malley (Scott Pilgrim)
2. Butch Hartman (Fairly Odd Parents / Danny Phantom)
3. Eiichiro Oda (One Piece)

I can only think of one artist, which is Hilariously Scary. I love her art. I don’t think I took anything from her art or stories but the stuff she creates really is interesting, and I want to see more.

I'd say it's LavenderTowne

Unfamiliar | Tapas

Because of her I started drawing chibi characters with big cartoony eyes.

[Bree_Mana]

Lets see here, Theres 5 Artists that i can think of either by veiwing their content as encouragement/ to better myself or because I liked their style!

Lavender towne
her videos have helped me a lot with figuring out diffrent art techniques and character design, as well as some general tricks for making art in photoshop. I'd say she's the main reason I started my webcomic on Tapas instead of just sticking with DA

Heres links to her comic and Youtube!

(Draw with) Jazza
I've bee following Jazza since back when he regularly did character design sessions and education for character design. I've always admired how he enourages people of any level to do art with whatever they have around them and how he's honest when he's having a bad time.

Heres a link to his Youtube:

Jazza

Ikimaru
This is one person that I've admired the art style of ever since I've found them and I always look forward to a new piece from them. I feel like I may have picked up a thing or two from their style

Heres links to their DA and instagram

Zoidiac lord
Again I've loved his style since finding him and his intricate stories and world settings (even if they have to be peiced together because notjing written into a story yet) are very inspiring. I really hope he gets one of his stories properly out there some day!

I get influenced by many, but I often am inspired by these two:

[Schwarze_Neko]

I think the ones who most influenced my style are Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia), Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tail) (when I was starting), and I wanna say Hirohiko Araki (a little bit). But the most influencial was Kohei because he has the style that I like the most

[CorissaBees]

I glean a lot from so many artists, but I think I've mostly been influenced by two artists: Phobs and Katsura Hoshino.

Phobs ( https://instagram.com/phobso?igshid=1iga0209g2nv8 )

Katsura Hoshino

[Bree_Mana]

Aye same here!, In my other post here I go into a little more detail lol

[GesuGesu]

A big mix over the years..

Izumi Tsubaki (Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun)

Powfooo

Gusari (Natsuki Kizu)

Chisacha

Fumiddition

Mazjojo

There are probably more, but I generally follow the generic anime style (doesn't particularly lean towards girly or shounen-y) that cell-shade rather than soft or painterly, and picks more bold, saturated colours.

My own art:

[Inspector_Spinda]

my influences:

THAT'S IT

my art:

CAN YOU TELL?

[Mira_Astralis]

oh my gosh you guys like a Lavendertowne too?!?!

[Macarenaoftime]

Oh BOI!!
There's a lot! I might get a little overboard and list some things that doesn't have anything to do with my style.

Mike Mignola

I just love his style, so so much.

Colored engravings

yess

Walt Peregoy

The guy who did 101 dalmatians' backgrounds and other stuff

Sean Murphy

I didn't quite enjoy a lot "white knight", but man the art got me

Miyasaki simplistic character design

Good old boy Sinix Design

I love his shapes <3

This are my art husbandos but that doesn't mean I draw like them. My art is just a mesh of my personal taste and my current abilities

[Comic.Kikikora]

I like Takeshi Obata & Sho-U Tajima

[Bokyongyo]

Love Miyazaki’s work as well. Easily top 10 influences for me too

[lucika]

Oh my god XD there are so many artists that influenced my art style.

I guess I will have to pick 5
Mochizuki Jun ( Author of Pandora Hearts)
I always love how she draws characters and clothes, and the way she colors her work in watercolor is magnificent.

Takeuchi Takashi ( One of the main artists of Fate franchise)
I like how he draw characters and poses. While I am not a fan at his recent works, but his art is one of the biggest influences of my work.

RAM (Twitter: ramdayo1122 )
One of the recent influences. I really love the way he uses colors in his work. His works are eye-catching.

Kyoukaraa (Twitter: Kyoukaraa )
Her works look like painting and I love how she uses color to create mood. I used to watch a lot of her speedpaints.

Kaneblob (Twiter: Kaneblob )
Her art is really beautiful and I like the way she draws soft flowing hair. Plus, her background art is goal!

[SagaHolmgaard]

ONE (Mob psycho 100, one punch man) was very influencial. You can still tell by the way I draw black eyes on all my characters, lol

And Murata, ofc. Like, look at these colors???? the city reflecting in the metal??? I am ded

And I'm not sure how much it shows in my art, but I gotta admit that Steven Universe taught me alot about how to draw facial expressions.

Also there was this one guy on youtube, but I've totally lost him by now. I think he was a comic artist for DC, or maybe marvel? He made a demonstration on how to ink fast and convey light source and shadows falling with your inks, which blew my mind. That's likey the reason for the art style I chose for my own comic - I had never inked like that before!

[EmmyPax]

Love this topic!

The Scott Pilgrim series by Bryan Lee O'Malley was a big one for me, but since that's already been mentioned, here are some others:

Mark Crilley! Any capability I have for drawing in perspective is because of him. I'm still working on it but my goodness, I don't know where I'd be without his videos.

Disney, generally, but let's go with Glen Keane, specifically, who does some of the most gorgeous character animation ever

Fiona Staples just does the most gorgeous art ever. My gosh. I wish I drew like her. Her work on Saga is well known and amazing, but look! Look how beautiful she made the Archie gang! I can't even. She got the reboot started and the moment she left, something left with her and I miss it.

And by far the most direct influence, Renee Nault. She adapted Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale as a graphic novel and she's up for an Eisner this year. (Yay!!!!) She and my older sister were best friends in high school, and most of my artistic training came from Renee, via the things she taught my sister. If there was a new art supply Renee was trying out, my sister soon would too, and then I would. Aaaaaaand despite trying other mediums later, I still work in ink and watercolor to this day, so something must have stuck.

So that all adds up to THIS (from my most recent episode):

Ink and watercolor characters with bright, Disney colors and hopefully a touch of the penache Fiona Staples has. Or at least, that's what I'm shooting towards some day.

Some of the biggest influences on my drawing style I'd say are:

Kishimoto, particularly kind of early, pre-timeskip Naruto era stuff. I didn't like how excessively clean, mechanical and stiff the manga got later, but I loved stuff like this and you can see it a bit in the proportions of my manga faces and the relatively simple eye style, but it comes out most in how I compose the content of my panels.

I've always loved how clearly Kishimoto depicts action in particular. He always goes for clarity over everything else, so he doesn't overuse extreme perspective or super-dramatic camera angles. He never does pages where it's just all partial closeups of the characters at cool angles with no sense of where they are in relation to each other. If he needs to draw a full-body shot, or an overview of the battlefield, he'll do it, and from the clearest angle possible. You can always follow what's happening in his fight scenes, even if they look less surface-level cool than some other artists. It means he can create truly complex sequences and abilities.

Tetsuya Nomura. Hey! Stop laughing! I know his character designs are kinda dorky, but they're like... dorky cool! Also I love that balance of manga-esque but also relatively realistically proportioned. He's had a huge influence on how I design characters by working in whatever details are cool from real fashion or history, focusing on details like material and texture as well as silhouette and how I proportion and draw them too, which probably comes across when you look at my work.

Bryan Lee O'Malley's work heavily influenced a lot of stuff you'll immediately see in my work; the way there's always a slight bit of rubbery cartooning to my characters, the way I ink with quite chunky, more western-style lines over relatively manga layouts, the use of style shift to comedic effect, how I time jokes, and how I like to place the characters in these kinda down-to-earth environments based on real places in my native region, then have wild stuff happening.

[dharmadischarge]

Main influence is Japanese pop culture like hunter x hunter and surrealism, like David lynch. not sure how it influenced me lol but in my gut I know that is how I feel aesthetically and it is the closest to what I am trying to do.

[DualDragons]

I... have no idea to be honest
I'm a real scavenger in that regard, my art style has elements from a lot of places, I just wouldn't know where all the things in my style would come from.
