Art styles.
17 years ago
Most artists draw with only one art style, I've noticed.
Learning to draw in a number of different styles is important, and tends to improve one's capabilities as an artist by forcing you to use different forms of expression of concepts. Some of the styles I make stuff in are dependent on the tools I use. Although in general, lots of people I've shown drawings, 3D art, shading practice, etc that I've done haven't recognized the works as mine, if they've largely only been exposed to one of the styles I do drawings in.
Here on FA, I only post things done in a sort of stream of consciousness style where I use short, overlapping strokes and have only allowed myself a single instance of erasing. I only use subtle strokes, no bold lines, no resolute postures, no pre-sketching, blue-lining, nor refinement. Mostly just hastily drawn crap.
I should post something else, but I just can't bring myself to doing so, being fatigued from being ill.

I finally got my meds, and they seem to be working so far.
I also draw my stuff in a variety of ways. Sometimes on a wall, on cardboard, in chalk, in the snow. Sometimes I'll ink it, sometimes I'll just sketch it, and sometimes I'll just do it digitally. Unfortunately I can't scan light sketches because my scanner is craaaaaaap.
