How about 'original' style? it really pains me to death to see people just copying other anime artist's and manga-ka's drawing styles. it's so....unoriginal.

my art is inspired by many differrent art forms, not just anime style. but if i had to say one kind of anime style that I was inspired by (note that I said INSPIRED and not copy) i would have to say doujin-ka Ryo Akizuki's manga style. She draws ffvii doujinshi, and her style is very original and expressive. much better then many of the 'professional' manga-ka around.

yup, thats right. However, I don't think it's bad to copy styles sometimes (experimentation is a good thing), but to copy others' anime styles right off the bat constantly and not creating your own is just terrible. That is why so many other artists despise the anime style so much. Heck, there are major prejudice people on DA against the anime style...it's really depressing Sad

cmon, people, pick up that pencil and start drawing styles of your own. copying other styles is what makes the anime style so generic looking.

i forgot to add this, but another anime art style my stuff is inspired by is a doujin circle called Blue Lynx. They make dbz doujins, a little simular to Toriyama's style, but with a little of thier own. They have a really beautiful art style, and the coloring is amazing. even for dbz-influenced, they managed to make some really original looking stuff.

for some odd reason, more doujin-ka these days have more original styles compared to the professional manga-ka...it's really odd, and sad.

Agreed. Y'know, when I saw the title of this thread, I drew a distinct "me loves anime" impression from it.

There's a lot more styles of art than just anime ... a helluva lot more. Wink

erm...i mostly so anime....and i am copying drawings at the moment so i can get the feel of drawing them so i will be able to start drawing my own characters and thing. im also starting to draw real life things aswell because i dont like the idea of only beng able to draw one type of art...and also it can help when you are trying different styles. ^_^ but i agree with the others that said it....anime is getting overlooked now because of it being copied so much...but im hoping to be trying some more new styles soon.... :)

what is a drawing style of Anime? isnt anime a style of its own? WTF?

I use my own anime-inspired style. I've tried my hand at Kazuya Minekura's style a couple of times, just to see if I could (I couldn't), but then I switched back to my own style. If it looks like the style of some manga-ka, that's completely unitentional.

I always thought the fun part of looking at anime/manga-fanart was seeing the characters I like drawn in a different style. If I wanted to see them in the manga-ka's style, I'd just look at the official artwork.

same thing I was thinking! like at school people always bitch how my dbz fanart 'dosn't look' like dbz because the style I use dosn't look like Toriyama's at all. Which is stupid, because what is the fun in fanart if it's all drawn the same as the original?

that is why I buy douijinshis. Most doujin-ka have original styles that they draw fanart in. It's worth buying doujins to see the different drawings of different fanart characters.. ^_^

I have my own styles also too but I know alot of styles besides Yu Yu, and HunterxHunter. I can also draw things in life like one of you was saying. I don't really copy what they draw and all but since i've got lots of time on my hands after homework, I try to brush up on my basic drawing skills and styles.

I draw in an anime-ish sort of way but I attempt to make it look different with not much sucess most of the time since I am still on a quest to discover what exactly is my style...

I pretty much shove together my favorite points of animes I like, but I am influenced a lot by Yu-Gi-Oh!, Trigun, and Angel Sanctuary. It is really obvious I completely absorbed them and left no room for my actual brain in my old old and not really on the net work...

I don't have a 'style' when drawing, but I do have influences, several to be specific.

- Haruhiko Mikimoto: Macross, Megazone 23, Gunbuster
- Masamune Shirow: Appleseed, Ghost In The Shell, Gundress
- Jim Lee: X-Men, WildCATS, Deathblow

As for those folks trying to put 'anime' and manga-ka style of drawing, down, here's news for you..

Western Style comics and animation are already adapting Japanese Anime, and Manga style art. It's pretty prevalent on television and comic books.

My style is my own but when I was first starting to draw anime style I drew infuence by a lot of the 'cute' style artists. Namely, Yu Watase, CLAMP (Mokona), and Koge-Donbo

*shrugs* I've sort of avoided basing my style upon any one source material, instead trying to make it look as "real" as I can get it to. There was somebody a few years ago who complained about the pencil linework in most of my early drawings, and I gues that's where I started working on removing the pencil linework before starting the actual shading... it gives my drawings a bit of a 'soft' feel that I like.

My stuff definitely has an anime influence, but it's more of a semi-realistic look. I've probably been influenced more by a handful of oekaki artists than any specific anime I've watched.

I love Trigun!

Sometimes what I draw are influenced by many great artists like Falcoon, Masashi Kishimoto, Arnold Arre, and other people. But I really like the art form Kill Bill Vol. 1. But sometimes I draw "unoriginally" when I feel like rushing.
