When I did the exercise, I chose both animators and artists. I watch a lot of animation so I looked for my favourite animators that have a style I admire. Idk if this helps but I guess it proves that it’s not just artists that you can choose from
@@sugasweet435 You can probably find out the artists behind the pieces you see on pinterest, or just go based off of deducing the aspects you like in every piece
heres the steps bc i was looking for this when i couldnt rewatch it XD 1- Create a file 2- Save 5-10 images of your favorite artists (1 each artist) 3- Add one of your own peices to this file (preferrably your favorite) 4- Pick your top 3 style features in each piece 5- Do the same for your piece 6- Specify recurring features (until you have no more identical features) - draw characthers with these things MULTIPLE times

I used to draw stylised/manga inspired art all the time when I was younger, but for the past 10 years or so I've been doing almost exclusively realistic art. I've been wanting to get back into stylised art, but when I tried I realised I've completely lost my style and understanding of how to draw "exaggerated" features and it made me really sad. I'll definitely be using this to try to get back into stylised art again 😊
oof i'm literally the opposite- i used to draw only realistic portraits of ppl (mostly just to impress my family) but i got really into wanting to draw anime characters and working towards finding my art style sooo now i can't draw realistically like i used to anymore.. 😅
i am literally struggling to choose an art style. it's been my struggle since forever. i have a style when it comes to drawing feature. how i draw eyes, nose, mouth, and face in general. the only thing that i never consistant is lineart and color palette. sometimes i want the thick black lineart, but sometimes i want the thin. sometimes i want blended shadow, sometimes i want harsh shadow. i think i might try to the exercise. wish me luck😔
In some cases, I don't see a problem with switching between two techniques. For example, sometimes I render with soft shading, sometimes I do cell shading or a little bit of both. It depends on what I'm making it for. I kind of see it as changing up the art supply you use!
Im getting my first tablet in 2-3 days (birthday) I think It will help to turn on pen pressure and practise lineart with the default photoshop pen set they give you! I personally do lavendertownes brushes (Default photoshop brushes) mainly kyles Thick n' thin
i dont know how or why but after watching 2 minutes of this i randomly gained the ability to draw humans as well as shading things something just clicked inside of my brain
I think drawfee put it really well in their “redrawing childhood art” video- they talk about how an art style isn’t something you find, it’s always been a part of you. it’s based on how you default to drawing things and what you like looking at in your art, so as you add new things to that mental library of things you like and techniques you use, that’s how your style evolves, but it’s less of you consciously choosing a specific style and more getting closer to the style that’s been inside you all along. here’s the link for anyone who hasn’t seen it! ruclips.net/video/dWJjFysLSE8/видео.html
I think the problem they're trying to tackle in this video though is choices. Both thick and thin line art looks good to me! I don't know what I want to do with my art so I can't decide!
Also, when trying to figure out your art style, it is very likely that the art style you really really want your art to look like will not end up being the one you will like for yourself once you get to that level of art. While it's good to take inspiration from others, you may find that you only really like one part of their art style (how they do certain things such as line art, shading, anatomy, expressions, etc.) and that will be reflected in your art. Your style will also change constantly during this time as you try and figure out how other people draw, but naturally, over time (whether you draw every day or draw once every other month) you will discover the things you like and things you don't like. For me, it took over 4 years of trying to find an art style, 2 years of trying to force it to change, and then settling with what I really liked to fully realize that even though I really like other people's art styles (such as Nadiaxel, Laovaan, Ross Draws, Jazza, Horikoshi, etc.) I will never like their art style as my own because my actual style differs from what I enjoy looking at. *Inspiration isn't just a benchmark for an art style, it is the motivation to get to that level of skill.*
I was literally just feeling rusty and wanting to change my current art style, then bam you bring out this video at the perfect time! Going to have to tackle this and I think do it a few times.
I have school when this premieres but art is way more important to me that school (this is a joke if I don't go to school my sketch book will be taken away)🤗
Omg i have been struggling so much with character drawings since I usually focus on realistic/surrealistic portraits to the point that I've rarely ever done stylistic character art 😭This video is awesome and put a lot of stuff into perspective in terms of taking inspiration in different elements and details in various artworks😍 I'm so glad I came across your channel!
The feeling when youre so happy because you finished a piece after 3 days but then goes back to being sad for seeing other artists doing much better 😂😂
Since I was about 8 years old I’ve been drawing, from having a coloring book as a reference to now , In school I absolutely loved my art and I was away from social media, and I kept at it, as I was bullied more and more the harder I was towards myself. I’m now in 10 months going to be 20 years old and I’m more accepting of my art, realizing I’ll never really be able to be like everybody else right away, and this helped me a lot and I’m a lot happier and more accepting ^^ appreciate you taking the time in helping out, it’s hard when you see someone else doing so well and your stuck in a rut of hating on it, but I looked back in how I used to draw and I seen the massive difference, but Practicing and keeping at , not giving up is the only way really to improve.
Oh, I just love how you've broken this down! I've had an inspo folder and various pinterest boards for art I like, but seeing as they've grown these past years they are ginormous and sooo overwhelming. Inspiring, but overwhelming. To just choose your top 5 or 10 or such and break down exactly what things you like from it is such an efficient idea! And then the immediate application... like this video was informing and also super inspiring! I literally just cleaned up some traditional art supplies but I'm going to break out at least a sketchbook now to try this out ASAP. Subscribed! Thanks so much for this!
2022-EDIT: I want to come back and mention that the drawing on the left at 5:06 - 5:44 is my entry for a DTIYS challenge made by (amazing artist) Chrissabug. Here's a link to the original post: instagram.com/p/CJggfCPD-kD/. I wanted to add this because a few people were under the impression that I stole the artwork due to not crediting Chrissa in the video. That was never my intention, as the drawing was in fact drawn by me, and with DTIYS challenges not having any sort of official ruleset, it's a bit of a gray zone. I just want to teach about art styles in this video and never meant any harm. So I hope this bit clears it up 💖 I love and adore Chrissabug's art and respect them as an artist and content creator. It was truly a pleasure to have taken part in the DTIYS Chrissa hosted.
Amazing video! I've never seen it so simply put with none of the "just practice" frustrating advice! What you said is actually practical and I was hanging on every word!
I think the hardest thing about art, and why I always seem to cry in frustration when trying to self help with art tip videos, is just that I never learned how to STUDY art. It was always something I could just DO so when my skill level plateaud I never learned or was taught what to do in that situation. Going to other artist's works to "copy" or "emulate" always seems taboo. And trying to find exact model references is a painful and distracting process for me personally. This is the first video where I've made it past the intro and the exercise actually seems doable and might actually teach me how to study something and pick back up what I'm constantly throwing away because of frustration and low self esteem. Thank you so much
I’ve now used this method three times now, and every single time, it opens my eyes to something that I was missing. Sometimes, I just feel unhappy with my art style and I can’t seem to understand why it looks off. Whenever I do this, though, I seem to always find that pattern of re-occurring features that’s missing in my current style. This really helped me. Thanks!
I love that folder exercise! For example for the eyes I take a lot of inspiration for lilith's eyes in Hazbin Hotel, except I draw them much more thin and long, kind of like Val's eyes with a long line for the eyelashes (lmao I was so happy when I saw Hazbin hotel pop up in your folder x)
I love that exercise! In college I was forced to keep a binder of just any images we were drawn too and describing why. I now just have folders and folders of inspiration photos
Thanks a lot for this video, i'm having a mix between art block and depression right now and i don't have strength to draw, and everything i draw i throw it off in minutes. This might help a lot. You're great
I haven’t produced any art in years due to my fear of not being good enough. I’m really hard on myself when it comes to art. However, I always wanted to explore my possibilities in creating digital art. I recently bought an iPad Pro since I heard Procreate is such a great tool for digital artists to use. I can’t get enough of it! Your video really changed my prospective on developing my own art style. Since my skills are a bit rusty, I’m grateful to have came across your video.
I wanted this video a lot!!!!! Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the premiere because when the video premieres it would be12:00 am midnight for me :( I hope you can decrease the time.
Can I say how cute your little cartoony self is? I've been following Laovann for a long time now, and the fact that you know each other is mind blowing.
Thank you for making this video, I’m a moderate beginner artist, I used to draw for years back in the day and I always wanted to draw like some of my favorite artists but never knew how to start. Now I do! I’m so happy! Thanks!
This video has actually been more helpful than any other video I've watched. I feel like your method for coming up with an art style will _actually_ work for me. Thank you!
Literally thank you for everything! It is always so fun to watch you break things down into digestible bits. Thank you! I intend to bring this to my drawing group!
Honestly probably the most helpful exercises ive seen for developing my style. Ive always been inspired by multiple artists and their styles, however i never really had a way to practice putting them all together. Thank u so much for this video. Im going to get started right away with this practice.
This popped up in my feed and I had to click it. I'm trying my hand at digital art again for the first time in a very long time. I've never really had a "style", and I've always criticized myself, so watching this has really helped, and I'm def. going to save it to a useful tips playlist.
Love this exercise and I think I'm gonna try it for my next piece! I've kinda done this before but as a one-off of sorts. A few months ago, I wanted to draw ghirahim for a linktober prompt but I wanted to try something different art-style wise. So I studied how other artists had drawn ghirahim and took what I liked from their portrayals to get a result I was happy with!
Thank you for posting this, it was very helpful to hear that my artstyle is developing - and probably never will stop. Comparing my artwork to more experienced artists tends to get me down because for obvious reasons (experience) their work is closer to what I want to be able to create myself. Being older than many of those artists I enjoy doesn't really help either, when it makes me feel like I will never reach their 'level' - whatever that is, thank you my brain. I will try out your exercise, and hopefully, it will give me some pointers to what I actually want to aim for in terms of style and skill, rather than compare myself to others as much.
you do not know how MUCH this is helping me, when I draw with a anime character reference(or anything) it looks way to similar and looks like I traced even though I don't. I always worry if someone points it out and I was to show proof so most of my art pieces aren't posted.
That exercise is really useful because I have so many seemingly opposing inspirations so I need to figure out which direction to go. I might actually print out the photos to make it easier. Thank you!!
That's so interesting, i could not decide at all on 10 drawings , so on my first try i had about 35 drawings in there, often more than from a single artist because different drawings showed better a particular thing i liked about that artists style. I thought i will be overwhelmed, but i noticed, that the things that i started to write about those drawings, were always the same thing, from about 20 artists all the things were overlapping. So i guess i had a favorite style in mind i didn't knew about, haha Even from my own drawings i was liking the same things i liked from other artists. That's was a really exciting revelation to me and such an interesting exercise, now i think i have a much clearer idea what i want to focus on with my next drawings.
i’ve been wanting to change up my style after seeing a bunch of great style inspiration, and this is the single most helpful art video i’ve literally ever seen, thank you so much
AAAAAAAAAA This was SO helpful!!!!! Never before have I drawn something and audibly gone "HOOOAAA WHO IS THIS HANDSOME DEVIL?!!!" so many times while realizing I CAN in fact draw like some of my favorite artists.
It's funny that my sister and I can't tell exactly if we have an art style or what makes it our own, but we can always tell which drawing is ours even after a long time or when they're mixed in the same page.
omg I got shooketh. When she started to open the monitor, I heard wrappers being opened in my ear that didn't have a headphone in, turns out it was just someone in my class that was opening some chips in the quiet classroom at the perfect time and because its just me, her and the teacher in here that was literally all I heard in my right ear
oh my god you’re my hero, I’ve been trapped under the same artstyle for like a year and a half and ive finally made it out of the cage, im making new art!!
Recently I made my own chibi art style, I find out what I liked/looked best I did some trials on the size of certain parts of the character, first I decided on the eyes, big or really big? Lol. Nose or no nose? Thin limbs or thick limbs? And so on and so forth until I had a style that I loved. You can make many things vary, perhaps give it a try yourself and see what you make? Just keep trying different options and the answer should come to you ^-^ good luck
Thank you so much for the brushes and the good advice! I do tattoos and my linework and steady hands allow it... but here where I live, people bring you the pictures they want as tattoos...... I’ve unlearnt the ability to draw from scratch and I find that very sad, as I am no more than a photo copy machine at the moment. This is amazing advice! Thank you!
I'm really stuck with my art style and I'm feeling like I can't improve it easily, but this video has given me the inspiration, thank you, I'll try this method asap!
to be honest - it’s the most useful art video i’ve ever watched (and i rewatched it i don’t know how many times) it helped me A LOT with developing my art style and not being overwhelmed by too many inspirations! your method is so simple yet so effective I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but thank you so much! ♥️
This is one of the most helpful artstyle videos, just everything about it! I also love the idea of the folder so I can recognize what I love most about their art and what to take from it!
Thanks Nadiaxel, I needed this a lot. I've been feeling like I've not been putting enough effort into my digital art, and this video inspired me to put more hard work to make a masterpiece. Tysm, really! :)
I wish I found this video sooner, I’ve been struggling to change to the art style I want to draw in for months but couldn’t get it down. Now I’m getting a lot better at it!
I'm glad you mentioned the free art style, I've always drawn freehanded, but I'm determined to improve my style more and more, but it's so hard. It's like I'm stuck in my way of drawing and it's annoying because I do want to get better with learning different techniques and how to draw eyes, facial expressions, shading and much more. Still I'm grateful that you showed all your improved art styles and it encouraged me to keep at it. I'm curious if drawing my art style on the iPad or another art app with a stylist, will also improve my art style when I draw with a pen and pencil. Either way thank you for taking the time to make this video 😊
So I used to draw manga, but I noticed it was not my style, so I looked at inspirations which made me create an artstyle with lineless and make it realistic. I will still say everyone can have a different art style, even if it realistic. Anyone could create an art style of an artist within fandoms, but your own art style is still your potential.
Tysssssm for this video!! I personally didn't really like my art style, it always felt unfinished and I stressed out so much about it, seeing this video makes me realize that it will never be too late to change my art style! Again tysm for this video, lots of love
Art styles are always evolving because us humans are always evolving 🥰 Also, she stole chrissabugs art in this video calling it her picture and didn't credit her. So at least we know she's a thief as well as an artist 🤣
I've been trying to find a helpful video that I can understand for like 5 hours now, thank you for explaining it in a way that I can actually understand! Lol
i loved this video! definitely gonna try the folder idea bc that’s totally smth that would usually work for me. thank you for being very blunt and to the point! your art is awesome
I appreciate that you upload more tutorial-like videos🥺🥰 can't wait to see this video🥳 love u and your artwork🥰 and btw your voice is so sweet, i really like your accent😊
I want to try and focus more on content I'm good at, which is usually educational content, so I'm happy you like it ^^ OoooooooooOooo and thank you so much XD
Excellent advice! The only thing is finding how the art did a certian thing that you want to add into your artstyle, it can be quite the struggle if you want to do a certian thing and don't know how to. This was helpful either way!
i was searching videos about developing artstyle yesterday😭 i will try this exercise for sure!! i have created a folder for a few pieces that kind of inspired me stylistically a while ago, but i didn't know how to analyze what inspired me in particularly:( i kinda have a general blurry idea of what i want my style to look like, but at the same time i don't, so this exercise might help😅 thank you for sharing!! love your videos💖
thank you for this video i felt a bit down since i got hated on on discord on one server because i got hated on that some of my drawings are realistic and that some a bit stylized so thank you so much for this video
Thank you for explaining this well I have whached like 7 of these videos I swar none of them were at good as this one and the exercise wasn't just "practice" which was nice
My medium messes with how I draw, with oil pastels it tends to be realistic because I can play with shading easily, . Bu t if I’m drawing with pencils it looks more cartoonly and stylized
Honestly, the hardest exercise is picking only one piece per artist.
Maybe then pick the one that represents their style best (or has the most amount of elements that you like about their style).
I don't even have favorite artists yet, I just see pictures on Pinterest that I like
@@sugasweet435 same, i’m not sure what to do lol
When I did the exercise, I chose both animators and artists. I watch a lot of animation so I looked for my favourite animators that have a style I admire. Idk if this helps but I guess it proves that it’s not just artists that you can choose from
@@sugasweet435 You can probably find out the artists behind the pieces you see on pinterest, or just go based off of deducing the aspects you like in every piece

-Mic’ Flurry- I don’t have a playlist like that, I should probs get one. My useful one is getting out of hand…

heres the steps bc i was looking for this when i couldnt rewatch it XD
1- Create a file

3- Add one of your own peices to this file (preferrably your favorite)
4- Pick your top 3 style features in each piece

6- Specify recurring features (until you have no more identical features)

You had to go over the technique section (a.k.a. skill)
I used to draw stylised/manga inspired art all the time when I was younger, but for the past 10 years or so I've been doing almost exclusively realistic art. I've been wanting to get back into stylised art, but when I tried I realised I've completely lost my style and understanding of how to draw "exaggerated" features and it made me really sad. I'll definitely be using this to try to get back into stylised art again 😊
Me but vice versa😩
oof i'm literally the opposite- i used to draw only realistic portraits of ppl (mostly just to impress my family) but i got really into wanting to draw anime characters and working towards finding my art style sooo now i can't draw realistically like i used to anymore.. 😅
Rlly? I can switch between art styles for any amount of time and be equally as good as I was on the other artstyle when I return
@@Real_hh Even after 10 years of a completely different style? It's not like it was just one or two years, but a complete decade lol
THIS. Oh my god. I grew up hearing the whole 'if you get realism you'll just automatically be able to do stylization' and it just isn't true lmao
i am literally struggling to choose an art style. it's been my struggle since forever. i have a style when it comes to drawing feature. how i draw eyes, nose, mouth, and face in general. the only thing that i never consistant is lineart and color palette. sometimes i want the thick black lineart, but sometimes i want the thin. sometimes i want blended shadow, sometimes i want harsh shadow. i think i might try to the exercise. wish me luck😔

something just clicked inside of my brain
This is such a mood-
One day something clicked on my brain and I understood anatomy better, or something. I'm not sure exactly what is different.
I think drawfee put it really well in their “redrawing childhood art” video- they talk about how an art style isn’t something you find, it’s always been a part of you. it’s based on how you default to drawing things and what you like looking at in your art, so as you add new things to that mental library of things you like and techniques you use, that’s how your style evolves, but it’s less of you consciously choosing a specific style and more getting closer to the style that’s been inside you all along.

There is no escaping the art style 👁👁
I think the problem they're trying to tackle in this video though is choices. Both thick and thin line art looks good to me! I don't know what I want to do with my art so I can't decide!
Who else watches drawfee? ✋
I read that in nathans voice and I´m not sorry
aww but i dont like my art style though ;-;

Amazing video! I've never seen it so simply put with none of the "just practice" frustrating advice! What you said is actually practical and I was hanging on every word!
I’m afraid of how accurate this is.
RIGHT 💀

This really encourages and motivates me to go draw and try these exercises! Here's to seeing some progress soon ^^
I think the hardest thing about art, and why I always seem to cry in frustration when trying to self help with art tip videos, is just that I never learned how to STUDY art. It was always something I could just DO so when my skill level plateaud I never learned or was taught what to do in that situation. Going to other artist's works to "copy" or "emulate" always seems taboo. And trying to find exact model references is a painful and distracting process for me personally.
This is the first video where I've made it past the intro and the exercise actually seems doable and might actually teach me how to study something and pick back up what I'm constantly throwing away because of frustration and low self esteem. Thank you so much
I've spent about 3 weeks finding my style and this helped me so much!
I’ve now used this method three times now, and every single time, it opens my eyes to something that I was missing. Sometimes, I just feel unhappy with my art style and I can’t seem to understand why it looks off. Whenever I do this, though, I seem to always find that pattern of re-occurring features that’s missing in my current style. This really helped me. Thanks!
I love that folder exercise! For example for the eyes I take a lot of inspiration for lilith's eyes in Hazbin Hotel, except I draw them much more thin and long, kind of like Val's eyes with a long line for the eyelashes
(lmao I was so happy when I saw Hazbin hotel pop up in your folder x)
I love that exercise! In college I was forced to keep a binder of just any images we were drawn too and describing why. I now just have folders and folders of inspiration photos
Thanks a lot for this video, i'm having a mix between art block and depression right now and i don't have strength to draw, and everything i draw i throw it off in minutes. This might help a lot. You're great
i’ve just been getting into drawing again after years of quitting and finding this seems really helpful!! thank you!
I haven’t produced any art in years due to my fear of not being good enough. I’m really hard on myself when it comes to art. However, I always wanted to explore my possibilities in creating digital art. I recently bought an iPad Pro since I heard Procreate is such a great tool for digital artists to use. I can’t get enough of it! Your video really changed my prospective on developing my own art style. Since my skills are a bit rusty, I’m grateful to have came across your video.
I wanted this video a lot!!!!! Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the premiere because when the video premieres it would be12:00 am midnight for me :( I hope you can decrease the time.
Aw, I promise the video will be waiting for you when you get up, Rose ♥ The time is perfect for me tho, so I can't move it ;_;
@@Nadiaxel aww, it's ok :)
Can I say how cute your little cartoony self is?
I've been following Laovann for a long time now, and the fact that you know each other is mind blowing.
That small animated figure that comes in everytime in the side is so cute❤
I was kinda hoping you would carry out your own excercise, it's so fun to see you draw :)
Thank you for making this video, I’m a moderate beginner artist, I used to draw for years back in the day and I always wanted to draw like some of my favorite artists but never knew how to start. Now I do! I’m so happy! Thanks!
This video has actually been more helpful than any other video I've watched. I feel like your method for coming up with an art style will _actually_ work for me. Thank you!
Literally thank you for everything! It is always so fun to watch you break things down into digestible bits. Thank you! I intend to bring this to my drawing group!
Honestly probably the most helpful exercises ive seen for developing my style. Ive always been inspired by multiple artists and their styles, however i never really had a way to practice putting them all together. Thank u so much for this video. Im going to get started right away with this practice.
This popped up in my feed and I had to click it. I'm trying my hand at digital art again for the first time in a very long time. I've never really had a "style", and I've always criticized myself, so watching this has really helped, and I'm def. going to save it to a useful tips playlist.
Love this exercise and I think I'm gonna try it for my next piece! I've kinda done this before but as a one-off of sorts. A few months ago, I wanted to draw ghirahim for a linktober prompt but I wanted to try something different art-style wise. So I studied how other artists had drawn ghirahim and took what I liked from their portrayals to get a result I was happy with!
Thank you for posting this, it was very helpful to hear that my artstyle is developing - and probably never will stop. Comparing my artwork to more experienced artists tends to get me down because for obvious reasons (experience) their work is closer to what I want to be able to create myself. Being older than many of those artists I enjoy doesn't really help either, when it makes me feel like I will never reach their 'level' - whatever that is, thank you my brain. I will try out your exercise, and hopefully, it will give me some pointers to what I actually want to aim for in terms of style and skill, rather than compare myself to others as much.
you do not know how MUCH this is helping me, when I draw with a anime character reference(or anything) it looks way to similar and looks like I traced even though I don't. I always worry if someone points it out and I was to show proof so most of my art pieces aren't posted.
That exercise is really useful because I have so many seemingly opposing inspirations so I need to figure out which direction to go. I might actually print out the photos to make it easier. Thank you!!
That's so interesting, i could not decide at all on 10 drawings , so on my first try i had about 35 drawings in there, often more than from a single artist because different drawings showed better a particular thing i liked about that artists style.
I thought i will be overwhelmed, but i noticed, that the things that i started to write about those drawings, were always the same thing, from about 20 artists all the things were overlapping.
So i guess i had a favorite style in mind i didn't knew about, haha
Even from my own drawings i was liking the same things i liked from other artists.
That's was a really exciting revelation to me and such an interesting exercise, now i think i have a much clearer idea what i want to focus on with my next drawings.
i’ve been wanting to change up my style after seeing a bunch of great style inspiration, and this is the single most helpful art video i’ve literally ever seen, thank you so much
AAAAAAAAAA This was SO helpful!!!!! Never before have I drawn something and audibly gone "HOOOAAA WHO IS THIS HANDSOME DEVIL?!!!" so many times while realizing I CAN in fact draw like some of my favorite artists.
It's funny that my sister and I can't tell exactly if we have an art style or what makes it our own, but we can always tell which drawing is ours even after a long time or when they're mixed in the same page.
Yay nadia is back. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YAAAAY xD ♥
omg I got shooketh. When she started to open the monitor, I heard wrappers being opened in my ear that didn't have a headphone in, turns out it was just someone in my class that was opening some chips in the quiet classroom at the perfect time and because its just me, her and the teacher in here that was literally all I heard in my right ear
oh my god you’re my hero, I’ve been trapped under the same artstyle for like a year and a half and ive finally made it out of the cage, im making new art!!
Probably the best explanation of style I've ever seen. Well done!
Aw thank you I am satisfied with my new style!!! I have improved a lot (especially the hands)
Recently I made my own chibi art style, I find out what I liked/looked best I did some trials on the size of certain parts of the character, first I decided on the eyes, big or really big? Lol. Nose or no nose? Thin limbs or thick limbs? And so on and so forth until I had a style that I loved. You can make many things vary, perhaps give it a try yourself and see what you make? Just keep trying different options and the answer should come to you ^-^ good luck
Thank you so much for the brushes and the good advice!
I do tattoos and my linework and steady hands allow it... but here where I live, people bring you the pictures they want as tattoos...... I’ve unlearnt the ability to draw from scratch and I find that very sad, as I am no more than a photo copy machine at the moment. This is amazing advice! Thank you!
I'm really stuck with my art style and I'm feeling like I can't improve it easily, but this video has given me the inspiration, thank you, I'll try this method asap!
Same
to be honest - it’s the most useful art video i’ve ever watched (and i rewatched it i don’t know how many times)
it helped me A LOT with developing my art style and not being overwhelmed by too many inspirations! your method is so simple yet so effective
I don’t know if you’ll see this comment, but thank you so much! ♥️
I think one of the best ways it to try dtiys cause then when youre done with it you can see the differences and know that you have an art style!
This is one of the most helpful artstyle videos, just everything about it! I also love the idea of the folder so I can recognize what I love most about their art and what to take from it!
Thanks Nadiaxel, I needed this a lot. I've been feeling like I've not been putting enough effort into my digital art, and this video inspired me to put more hard work to make a masterpiece.
Tysm, really! :)
I wish I found this video sooner, I’ve been struggling to change to the art style I want to draw in for months but couldn’t get it down. Now I’m getting a lot better at it!
I'm glad you mentioned the free art style, I've always drawn freehanded, but I'm determined to improve my style more and more, but it's so hard. It's like I'm stuck in my way of drawing and it's annoying because I do want to get better with learning different techniques and how to draw eyes, facial expressions, shading and much more. Still I'm grateful that you showed all your improved art styles and it encouraged me to keep at it. I'm curious if drawing my art style on the iPad or another art app with a stylist, will also improve my art style when I draw with a pen and pencil. Either way thank you for taking the time to make this video 😊
Very informative but felt really important. Art style is based on preferences and experience. Helped a lot! Thank you!
You are so organized! This helps to get my ideas in order and to visualize what I want to achieve! Thanx 😄
This video actually gave concrete advice! Thank you for being so helpful
I actually started doing this some weeks back after watch marc brunet but you go in so much deeper and i think that will help me even more💞
So excited! But I cant catch the premiere. Hope you leave it up!
Totally OK ♥ The video will be waiting for you for whenever it is convenient to you ♥♥♥
So I used to draw manga, but I noticed it was not my style, so I looked at inspirations which made me create an artstyle with lineless and make it realistic. I will still say everyone can have a different art style, even if it realistic.
Anyone could create an art style of an artist within fandoms, but your own art style is still your potential.
Amazing! Thank you for continuing to inspire me on my art journey ♡
Tysssssm for this video!! I personally didn't really like my art style, it always felt unfinished and I stressed out so much about it, seeing this video makes me realize that it will never be too late to change my art style! Again tysm for this video, lots of love
Art styles are always evolving because us humans are always evolving 🥰
Also, she stole chrissabugs art in this video calling it her picture and didn't credit her. So at least we know she's a thief as well as an artist 🤣
In my opinion an art style is a mindset. Thanks for the great video!!!!!
Thank you! I find this very helpful. 😊
I've been trying to find a helpful video that I can understand for like 5 hours now, thank you for explaining it in a way that I can actually understand! Lol
i loved this video! definitely gonna try the folder idea bc that’s totally smth that would usually work for me. thank you for being very blunt and to the point! your art is awesome
You’re an angel, first time watching your Channel, and I already love everything about you!!
Thankyouuuuu so much. Actually I was having alot of problem working on a proper art style. Im really gonna try out this exercise😍😍😍😍😍
u are a mind reader XD
i needed something like this soo much bc i've never was that happy about everything i drew bc it fellt wrong in a wierd way
i've been hoping for more yt videos on this, so happy i stumbled across it!!
One thing I have realized is that every artists opinion and how to get better at art is different, but they all have become very good at art even so
I appreciate that you upload more tutorial-like videos🥺🥰 can't wait to see this video🥳 love u and your artwork🥰
and btw your voice is so sweet, i really like your accent😊
I want to try and focus more on content I'm good at, which is usually educational content, so I'm happy you like it ^^
OoooooooooOooo and thank you so much XD
You are my inspiration! I really love your art and artstyle.
WHY DOES SHE SPEAK SO MUCH TRUTH SHE EXPOSED ME SO MUCH I DIDNT EXPECT THIS 😭😭😭
Concise and useful advice. Thank you for sharing and enjoy the new monitor.
Thank you! I had a lot of fun doing this exercise! Your video inspired me to make a video explaining my inspirations! 💯💫💯💫
Excellent advice! The only thing is finding how the art did a certian thing that you want to add into your artstyle, it can be quite the struggle if you want to do a certian thing and don't know how to. This was helpful either way!
I have watched so many videos on this topic and this one so far has been the most helpful! I can’t wait to try out your formula! :D
i was searching videos about developing artstyle yesterday😭 i will try this exercise for sure!! i have created a folder for a few pieces that kind of inspired me stylistically a while ago, but i didn't know how to analyze what inspired me in particularly:( i kinda have a general blurry idea of what i want my style to look like, but at the same time i don't, so this exercise might help😅 thank you for sharing!! love your videos💖
thank you for this video i felt a bit down since i got hated on on discord on one server because i got hated on that some of my drawings are realistic and that some a bit stylized
so thank you so much for this video
WOOOOOOOOO! Im soooo excited! ❤️
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ♥
Thank you for explaining this well I have whached like 7 of these videos I swar none of them were at good as this one and the exercise wasn't just "practice" which was nice
My medium messes with how I draw, with oil pastels it tends to be realistic because I can play with shading easily, . Bu t if I’m drawing with pencils it looks more cartoonly and stylized
i just got my ipad pro, so now i have to develop my (digital) art style. this video is just perfect
