I have a style? <Art Related>
12 years ago
I've been told I have a style a couple times over the past few days, and several times in the past... What's the old saying? Told you're an ass once, ignore it. Twice, start to wonder. Three times, get some hay and a saddle and make like a mule?
I'm not sure I'd ever classify what I do as anything other than 'a mess' but how the heck would you classify how I draw? o_O;
For example, I look at the last pic I did and I see line thickness issues, problems with line placement due to join.me liking to cause the PC to freeze for a split instant every few seconds (Anyone else run into this?), proportion issues with her paw in my vain attempt to do perspective, and a clear non-understanding of shading as I fake it with cell-shading.
So thoughts?

By difference, I mean how known they are, why they are different, their techniques, etc. You'll see that the more diverse the piece, the more likely that the creator has matured in crafting.
There IS a difference between your "style" and just plain messing up, and, that takes a bit to recognize.
It's hard for the creator to fully recognize the style they have developed. Though I would say all things, even what may be considered faults, can contribute to your overall style and it's not always a bad thing. I've been praised for my simplicity when I personally would call it laziness. I have another artist friend who has been praised for her unique line-work. She told me that it's because she messes up so much that she has to go over lines multiple times to make them clean - thus resulting in some nice thick and thin that wasn't necessarily intentional, just a byproduct of a fault or imperfection. I believe a lot of these "issues" is partly what shapes our styles.
I clearly see TLK influences, and you really seem to like a rounded look ... particuarly your muzzles are never hard edged.
Nothing wrong with that at all! Just you definitely have your own way of doing things.
