I’m sure you’ve been question loads but I think your art is gorgeous and it really inspires me, so i was just wondering how/when you found your style (like have you always drawn similar to this, or did it used to be more cartoony/realistic) because i’m really struggling with that line between stylising and still having recognisable human proportions lol

love your work 💕

Thank you so much! And I’ve only really been drawing like this current style since this summer 😅 over the last 5 years my style has changed almost every month lol you can even scroll down to my posts last year and see it’s totally different. I think only the last couple months I’ve stuck with this more painterly, children’s illustration style with semi-realistic proportions.

For a while my style was very influenced by modern cartoons and anime but my style changes with my interests! Now I’m more into art nouveau, late 19th - early 20th century illustration as well as children’s books from my childhood. But that could even change by next year and I try not to worry about it :)

Best tip I’ve heard and what I’ve been saying for a while is just try to find a few different artists you really like and take reference when you’re creating your own work. You’ll see as you practice the small influences from each artist shows up in your work creating a whole new style!

Here’s just a few comparisons to see some of the changes over the years.

So I'm on of those people who enjoys a good "art style challenge" videos. Looking through a lot of different "styles" of art, I've noticed a sort of spectrum that slides between two points.

Stylization and Rendering.

I've made this handy blob to to visualize this spectrum.

Stylization to me is the design of something using shape language, proportions, details vs simplicity, and exaggeration or lack thereof. It slides between Semi Realism: being more based on reality, Semi Abstract : based more on shape and exaggeration, and Stylized: having a basis in reality but takes artistic liberties to emphasize on certain aspects/feelings.

Rendering to me is the application of form or lack of on a design. Lighting (shade, highlights, rim light), textures, patterns, and lines (there or not). Leaning more graphic or more form based.

No or Low Rendering leans into being graphic. Stylized being some lighting to get an idea of form but not too much to clutter the scene or slow down production. Hight Render leaning on form.

Here are some examples of how different visual stories fit on the scale.

Here you can have stylized character designs with different scales of rendering. Stylization is mostly seen in Japanese Anime and those inspired by Disney.

Same with Semi Abstract designs with different rendering styles. Semi Abstract comes from the UPA shorts from the 50s that really pushed into exaggerated shape language.

Semi Realistic designs can change with how you render them. Semi Realism is based more on reality.

Works the other way around with Rendering.

You can have the same amount of rendering but take in a story way different with how a character is designed. Most high rendering is seen in high budget 3D animated features because it would take forever to ask an artist to render this much detail at 24 frames per second. And we already torture animators as is.

Gradient rendering is seen mostly in webcomics, Korean comics, and illustrated books. Though with Klaus we are starting to see it more in animation.

Cel Shading is most common in 2D animated series and movies. Gives it more form and gets the point across.

Low or No Rendering becomes more graphic and emphasizes on color and design.

I will use Donna from my comic Legend Catcher as an example.

Same design, different ways to render.

Same amount of rendering, different ways to stylize.

This was just some things to think about when looking at and creating art.

If you wanna check out the process in how I drew all these, check out my Ko-Fi for the video at https://www.ko-fi.com/tessshadowcast

Just some fun thoughts I had. If there are other points to make, let me know!

The last live stream of 2023 I did for my patrons was dedicated to their pets. They also chose the theme - historical art styles. So, here are their lovely fluffy companions in the style of art nouveau, medieval illuminated manuscripts and pop-impressionism.

It was so fun to replicate thr styles while trying to preserve each cat's unique personality!

Here's my Patreon if you'd like to join our small community and take part in our Discord shenanigans, including painting live streams, where I do sketch requests from patrons!

Pixie have before, and have also some anthro-human creatures . but . Pixie is not can do , too hard . and . not knowing if even could to learn .

Pixie most do landscape paintings and other "natural " environments , but only very very very rarely do anything human-related , trees and clouds and flowers and everything in nature are all so much more beautiful and interesting to pixie .

(apologies in advance if this is a weird or offensive question, I'm just curious about the history)

Is judaica the same across Jewish communities of all global regions? Like do Asian, African, and European Jewish people have different types and styles of judaica, or is it generally all the same? I figured being dispersed across such varied areas would cause some divergences in how different cultural artifacts would look, but my cursory google searches have been unhelpful, both in finding judaica itself and in even getting any information on non-European Jewish communities.

I know this is probably a really ignorant question, but I like learning about different cultures and the history and evolutions of their artifacts.

There absolutely are different styles of Judaica!

Jews have been dispersed around the world, and thus our art has taken on many forms.

I will say though that a lot of Jews don't identify with just "Asian", "African", or "European". We are Jews. Our identity is Jewish. We have different labels that reflect where our ancestors found themselves in the diaspora at different points in history, but the three labels "Asian", "African", or "European" are far too simplistic. Ashkenazi, Italki, and Sephardi Jews have ties to Europe; Sephardi and Mizrachi and Ethiopian Jews have ties to Africa; Sephardi, Mizrachi, Bukharan, Cochin, and Kaifeng Jews have ties to Asia; all while being widely different and diverse subgroups and traditions. (There are far more different Minhagim than the ones I mentioned, by the way, I just mentioned a few as examples.)

Anyway, as for our Judaica.....

Of course it varies! We have had thousands of years to develop different art styles and techniques, although you will find certain motifs that arise often throughout most Judaica styles, such as Stars of David, lions, crowns, pomegranates and all of the rest of the Seven Species of Israel, eyes, hands, and fish.

Since it's almost Chanukah, I'm going to use different Chanukiyot as examples of the variations. I'm by no means an art historian, these are my notes based on what I've learned and read, and from observations.

Here is a classic Eastern European Chanukiyah. Here you can see two lions holding up a depiction of the seven-branched Temple Menorah, with a crown atop. It's made of bronze. This style of Chanukiyah was very popular, and had many variations. Sometimes the Temple Menorah was replaced with other motifs, such as the Ten Commandments, a Star of David, or some other symbol.

Here is a Moroccan Chanukiyah. You can see here that it's meant to be hanged on a platform or wall. It looks like it's made of copper. Already you can see the difference between this one and the previous one. You can see it has the floral and keyhole repeating patterns that are familiar in Moroccan art, and in fact this Chanukiyah here is intended to be lit with oil wicks, not candles, like the previous one.

This Chanukiyah isn't an antique, it's a modern design, as you can see by its oblong shape and reversable nature (it's supposed to be flipped over to serve as Shabbat candlesticks, too) however, it exemplifies the beautiful Yemenite Jewish silverwork. Silversmithing was historically a Jewish profession in Yemen, as Muslims were forbidden from silversmithing. Yemenite Jews acquired a reputation for their incredible silverwork. You can see how intricate the details are, the swirling, repeating patterns and leaves.

Here is an Italian Chanukiyah, likely from the 18th century. You can see the twin lions here again, only this time they're holding a flame. This Chanukiyah is also made for oil wicks, not candles. (Oil wicks are the more traditional and older way to light the Chanukah lights.) On it is enscribed in Hebrew, "Like the flame of Mitzvah and the Torah of light". There's also different designs than on the Eastern European Chanukiyah, such as the leaves and filigree, and the domed "roof".

And finally, here is an elaborate silver Ukranian Chanukiyah from the 19th century. This was once in the Great Suburban Synagogue in Lviv, and survived Nazi occupation. This is obviously a far more elaborate design than an average household would have, as this was in display in a syngogue and was intended to be a prominent peace of art. You can see again, more lions holding up the base of the lamp, and flowers and leaves and filigree, and a bird perched on top. The original Temple Menorah was described as having bulbs and flowers, and thus many Chanukiyah designs embody this by including such motifs in their designs.

These were only a few examples I was able to hobble together, and honestly you're right, anon, there aren't many accessible resources outlining the history and variation of Judaica.

Here's some further reading about Jewish art if you're interested:

Hi Chino, is there a tutorial on how to draw as well as you do? And even if you don't have such detailed tutorials, do you have any tips for those who want to start but don't even know how to hold a pencil properly? I'm in love with your illustrations, sending a lots of luv ❤❤❤❤

Hello !

Aww thank you so much, Im happy to read that you like my style so much 🥰💕 I actually still have lots to learn and improve, so I never really felt comfortable in making tutorials. The tips I can give are nothing magic but here you have : -Enjoy yourself while drawing, its the MOST important. Especially as a hobby. It's better to stop your drawing when you are still enjoying working on it (and get back to it later) than keeping drawing on it until you are frustrated. In doing so, you just keep a positive feeling on drawing overall. -Make time to work on the basics of drawing even if, yes, it can be boring. (so just do it little by little to build knowledge ) -If you can't draw for some time, its OK. Just be sure to take advantage of this time to always keep an open eye on "observation" mode. You can learn a lot by just observing and analysing your surroudings (and not just looking. )

-Find (healthy) drawing friends, all togehter you can be extremely positive motor for each other. Pushing you, helping you, motivating you...

-Regarding tutorials only, I would highly suggest Marc Brunet's channel. He is awesome, lots of experience, has been teaching for years and he does it in a funny way. His videos are never boring to watch. You'll find a big range of videos tackling all topics you might need, its beginner friendly and even if you are advanced artist there is still a lot to learn from him. Hope that helps, good luck on your art journey ! 😊

Soooo, I've had one thing in my art seem to stand out the most. And that's the way I draw them lookers 👀

So I decided to make a chart of all the main variations of eyes I would draw in on a more constant rate. Sort of <:)

There are more, as said in fine print above, this also applies to no lashes :>

Feel free to use them for reference if you'd like. :0

The Four Horsemen of Flatland Art Styles

+ a personal style i came up with.

These are the ones I know of/have seen/draw, and how I refer to them. If you have come up with or seen any other styles let me know ::D

I usually alternate between these styles when drawing depending on mood or the drawing's scene's tone or what characters I'm drawing.

1- "Simply shapes" or faceless or plain style idk

basically they are Just shapes and lines. Colorless/grayscale perhaps. No organs or facial features: merely shapes. Maybe ur tired of this anti chromatist non sense, you just wanna have fun with the shapes, so you color their insides. Pretty simple.

The 1965 Flatland short film is a great example. It is also very great. Go watch it! ::D

2- "Bi-dimensional cellular organisms" AKA Flatland Film style

They look like bacteria lol. Pretty identifiable! have one eye and mouth on one of their sides and little hairs all over! Usually also have simple visible organs, and a characteristic cog shaped brain.

You may either draw Women as stiff lines like in the film, or as bendy lines like snakes.

3- "Bill Cipher" or "Flat Dreamers" style

The shapes are simple, occasionally colored on the insides or bearing patterns. Occasionally also wear clothes or accessories! They usually have one eye on their inside and limbs.

4- "Insides out" or charseraph style

I believe it was charseraph who came up w/this. Correct me if I am wrong ::D

This style portrays a more realistic organ design/arrangement, and is most prominent by the fangs or beaks of the Flatlanders! It is easier to distinguish from the bacteria style because it lacks eyes and hairs/cilia.

Bonus: I made the last/extra style based on non-Euclidean geometry. The style and the world of Flatland inspired by it arent finished yet as I am barely learning about this topic. I will post about it soon though ::D it also bears my view of Flatlander organs, with really the only interesting thing to note being that they have 1 lung and it works more like an accordion than a balloon. Kinda like bug breathing. Will make post on Flat Biology laterrr.

Note: Yeah I forgot about Shapehumans, Humanified Flatlanders, and the Flatland Movie. Cuz I don't draw in those styles. But hey I'm acknowledging them right now !!!

Art Style and Emotions Evoked

One of the choices made for ATLA that I really admire is that they sometimes used intentional shifts in art style (such as lines and colors) to change the atmosphere in a scene (or part of a scene, such as an ink painting) and give off a certain feeling, often dream-like and with the occasional benefit of reminding us of real life art history.

Some examples of this can be seen in the episodes The Storm, The Cave of Two Lovers, Zuko Alone, Tales of Ba Sing Se and The Beach. Basically, it tends to happen during Zuko’s trips down memory lane or when focus is put on other members of the Fire Family (but not always).

(Above Images from The Storm)

You can see the differences of course, but also the strong yet subtle similarities between the first three images above—and especially the third one where a younger Zuko can be seen standing next to his father—and the fourth one after, where Zuko is standing on his ship. The third and fourth images practically mirror each other; one younger with a more innocent vibe, the other older and hardened from the past.

Also, the first three, to me, have softer edges and warmer tones. And (when animated) appear more blurry. It reminds me of a sepia-hued, smudge-style canvas painting or even an edited photograph. It’s truly like a memory, which is exactly what that scene depicts.

***

(Above Image from Zuko Alone)

The above is yet another example of a memory being shown within scene, although it somehow seems more “real” than the previous images, imo.

I think it’s because of the way it’s made to look closer to the regular art style. A part of me wonders if this maybe was the “original” art style that they were going to go for, before they switched to a more commonly used one.

***

(Above Image from The Beach)

Now I'd say the above is akin to that of a caricature, which I absolutely love. The Fire Gang all look like themselves, yet not, due to the exaggeration that also helps to showcase their differing personalities. The beach was actually a goldmine for stuff like this: Exaggerated illustration of personality.

A few more beautiful examples:

All in all, the changes in art style were a very good, dynamic choice for a high quality, quickly-advancing show. I can look on the images used in this post alone for ages, just studying and enjoying them.
