(copied from my tumblr so wording might seem weird)

like I feel I need to reboot the way I’m going about it, cos I just keep looking at others’ art and then try to apply their techniques (poorly) in what I do which has resulted in a decline in style consistency and my viewerbase both here and especially FA (which is my main source of commission money)

i end up hating nearly every finished pic I do, I usually either fuck it up from the start with ugly composition and anatomy or ruin it with gross looking shading. While these things can be fixed with more practice, there’s the issue of stylistic choice

I don’t know if I should stick with the thick, more painterly style I’ve used with the texturized brushes or go with the more animu style with clean thin lines and a mix of soft and cell shading. I keep juggling styles whenever I feel like it but what I want is to have a solid style people can recognize and one that could hopefully attract more customers and watchers/followers. Shit, I even lowered my commish prices by 30% but I still can’t get anyone interested.



So, I need opinions. Which of my styles is the most aesthetically pleasing to you and what do you think are the most grave pitfalls my art usually trips to? Any critique will help me a ton ;u;
