#find your art style :)

[cozylittleartblog]

cant tell you how bad it feels to constantly tell other artists to come to tumblr, because its the last good website that isn't fucked up by spoonfeeding algorithms and AI bullshit and isn't based around meaningless likes

just to watch that all fall apart in the last year or so and especially the last two weeks

there's nowhere good to go anymore for artists.

edit - a lot of people are saying the tags are important so actually, you'll look at my tags.

#please dont delete your accounts because of the AI crap. your art deserves more than being lost like that #if you have a good PC please glaze or nightshade it. if you dont or it doesnt work with your style (like mine) please start watermarking #use a plain-ish font. make it your username. if people can't google what your watermark says and find ur account its not a good watermark #it needs to be central in the image - NOT on the canvas edges - and put it in multiple places if you are compelled #please dont stop posting your art because of this shit. we just have to hope regulations will come slamming down on these shitheads#in the next year or two and you want to have accounts to come back to. the world Needs real art #if we all leave that just makes more room for these scam artists to fill in with their soulless recycled garbage #improvise adapt overcome. it sucks but it is what it is for the moment. safeguard yourself as best you can without making #years of art from thousands of artists lost media. the digital world and art is too temporary to hastily click a Delete button out of spite

Drew a bunch of Marinettes in a bunch of different artists styles it was a lot of fun!!

Artists who's styles I mimicked: @buggachat @hamsternamedmarinette @ladybeug @sabertoothwalrus and @anna-scribbles all epic artists 🤟😎

#my art #marinette dupain cheng #miraculous ladybug #miraculous fanart #style mimic #sorry for the @s btw #yall should go follow those artists if you dont already also #this was sort of inspired by a post the three artists on the top row made #i think they all got together and drew with one another #which is really cool #but i was genuinely confused because i mimic styles a lot #and ive seen others do it too so i was just like #wow they really know each others styles really well #until i thought about it and read their posts some more #style mimicking is really freaking fun and i think its really good practice #and a good way to explore other ways of doing things #like you really have to learn new techniques and get out of your comfort zone #also anna scribbles i could not find a recent pic of marinette in her main outfit #so thats the only marinette i drew in different clothes cuz i couldnt find a more recent ref of you drawing it #anna scribble marinette has privileges thats the others dont #but ye #i also threw my own style in there as a frame of reference to what me draw like #ive drawn marinette before just not in a loooong while #sabertooth walrus was the hardest for me to mimic cuz they have a broad range in their style #so its like which sabertooth do i wanna be in this pic #Buggachat has such a distinct style thats very clean and consistent which is amazing so they were easy #being easy or hard arent bad things either it also has to do with like styles meeting up with one another #buggachats and mine arent too too different in some shapes and aspects #so yeah itd be easier plus they drew marinette like 3 sec ago so i have more recent of a ref #as opposed to sabertooth who i have a recent ref of ladybug but not marinette so we got two diff styles in one

im just fucking with him your honour (read: trying to figure out how to draw him)

#cult of the lamb #cotl #cotl narinder #narinder #my art #i saw a serval and i was like thats how most of the fandom draws him actually #i wanted to try to find my fave way to draw him since im pretty inconsistent #i do like the maine coon tho and i like the fluff on the ear tips #one thing remains tho i like to give him Big Ears #also aym and baal for your troubles #cotl aym #cotl baal #I WANTED TO PUT HIM WITH A PAGE ON THE LAMB BUT. MYGOD. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DRAW THE LAMB #problem is i have TOO many design bits that i like for the lamb #and they dont look good if i combine them #and i change drawing style with the wind so it has to be something that works in multiple styles AND ITS DIFFICULT

howls moving castle redraw i finally got around to coloring lmao

#i'm a firm believer in every artist should do a studio ghibli screenshot redraw bc it rly helps you to find your style #like ghiblis art style is so simplistic yet vibrant and iconic and with that as groundwork it rly allows you to flourish in other areas #like shading and lineart and highlights and whatever makes your style unique #anyway i've spent like the last three days drawing skk so i have a huge backlog of art i need to post BUT howl and sophie privileges #studio ghibli #howl's moving castle #sophie hatter #howl jenkins pendragon #howl x sophie #lotus draws

[sheepstiel]

why would you want ai destiel kissies (flat fast food burger) when we have destiel kissies at home (actual homemade soup, main ingredient love)

#idk. i think my main issue is just seeing other desitel art in the tag struggle to get notes at all #when even seasoned fandom artists aren't getting as much notes these days it's hard to even start as a new fandom artist #trying to find a style and getting a little validation etc #and then you see this detailed realistic but slightly off stuff. and ppl love it. and you're never gonna draw like this. #or even if you draw like this. you spend hours and hours on it and your back hurts. #idk it's a teeny bit frustrating :/ #also no hate to that person ig they just wanted to see their favs kiss. #if you do post your ai kissies creations please at least tag it as ai. maybe even make it clear in the post so that ppl can see it #in reblogs as well.

[stiffyck]

I think I already talked about this and I've seen others mention it but it's been on my mind again:

Is it weird that grian is usually drawn looking like a teenager or just a kid in general while the others look like adults

#stiff talk #ive been thinking about this #and it so fucking weird #ill see art that look absolutely beautiful and then grian just? looks like a literal child? while all the others look like adults???? #so its not an issue of style or whatever #idk i find it really weird #what is it aboht grian that makes people physically unable to draw him as an adult- /silly #i could also talk about the fact that grian. the one whos shown as a kid and who has a pretty high voice. is the one whos usually portrayed- #-as transmasc #which dont get me wrong i like trans grian #but it kinda feels like? why is grian the only one who youre able to hc as trans???? #idk #maybe im just being too bitchy aboht this but its been kinda bothering me DJCJDKFK

blank template for those that want it under the cut

#different urls at the time of posting each of these too. from uglyramen to vhsanimal to girlboyburger #slowly my lines get thinner and thinner... #this was rlly cool to put together actually. i ended up digging up like #2016 and before art too #like 2015 is when i became a furry #its rlly evident that i used to just mimic the art styles of furry artists with styles i like #like straight up i found pieces tht i traced (didnt post) from like. okamiwolven and ashketchumsays (i think they go by luxebites now?) #waves my hand #its neat. idk. ive stumbled across pieces in the wild of young slash newer artists clearly referencing or tracing my art #i never thought id be the artist that ppl would learn through like that #im not encouraging creditless tracing btw. but. idk. its hard to articulate the kinds of feelings i get from seeing the cycle #of imitating/tracing to developing your own style but w my stuff #i think it makes me feel nice #its cool that some ppl find my art inspiration or aspirational in that way #this isnt like a weird humblebrag or anything btw its just cool #its also RLLY neat to see the things i was clearly trying to do come through stronger over the years #the lines on the coat of otto in the first icon was my attempt at including crosshatching esque texture #and now i do that For Real with cow's hair and more recently with shadowing #shrugs #ive rambled for too long now. hello tag reader. i hope u have a good night #my art #art style timeline

Thinking how the importance of style for beginner artists is often so overrated. So many artists obsessed with “finding a style” and panicking when they can’t/their style is constantly drastically changes. But the style is just a combination of things you love and happen to find comfortable and comforting for you to draw and I think eventually you just…circle to the tendency in style you find the most convenient. I don’t think there is a necessity of running after style above all else. Just find the things you enjoy drawing, find the artists whom you find visually pleasing. If you wanna, try to break down their work for studying, it’ll help you to understand which parts about their style you enjoy the most. Adapt the things you learned for your work, test them out, see if they stick. If not - that’s ok, not all things that look cool in other’s work is good for your own work. Have fun, don’t pressure yourself to have a consistent style by tomorrow, it’ll come around even if you don’t see it yet. Artists are also often blind to their style sometimes, just by the sheer amount of time we spend looking at our,all stuff and thinking that it should have looked different.

Give yourself some time, do not rush

#my art #me being me #art #there is a big obsession over monetization of everything you do #and certainly the style helps the ‘brand’ more than the absence of style #but I think it’s strange to pressure yourself to become unique NOW so people would hype you up #you’re unique because you love a unique combination of things and that combination works particularly well for you #a lot of newbie babies are so under pressure of finding the style they sometimes forget to pay more attention to the basics #which I get! I also love drawing interesting blorbos over boring practice art! #but use your blorbos to help yourself learn and gradually widen your range #and you’ll find your style without actually looking for it #idk just thoughts

can the "finding your art style" discussion finally end because it does nothing but feeds people's insecurity and obsession with finding something... that they already have?

i've been there, trust me. growing up i was obsessed with "finding" my own art style. but you know what it only did? it made me almost quit drawing altogether on many occasions when in reality i already had one.

an art style is how you interpret everything around you through the act of creation. it's how you draw right now. it's how you place the lines. your line-weight. it's how you draw the eyes. it's how you shade.

an art style grows with you. it grows with your improvement. of course you can explore and bump it up by testing bits and pieces from art you love. but you don't add those bits to nothing. you add to what you already have, to the art style you already have. it's how you draw.

#lave talks #random ramble but i just saw another youtube video that's supposed to be a guide on how to find your art style #like dude. everyone who draws has an art style. everyone who writes has their own writing style #it will improve with you #it will grow with you #you can spice it up with things you like and enjoy. but it will always be there the second you pick up a pen #the refined art styles you see in experienced artists' portfolio is there because they've been drawing for decades and refined #what they already had. they polished their craft and their style followed. it will be the same with you. you just need to allow yourself #time for that growth #let's stop feeding into this idea that you don't have an art style until you do xyz #it almost ruined drawing for me #artist community #artists #artist #artist support #artist struggles #artist spotlight #art style #art tag #artists on tumblr #art discussion
