Leveling up (a long journal i dont expect anyone to read)
5 years ago
Hi everyone, it's your favorite reclusive eevee coming to just type up thoughts and stuff i have, feel free to read or comment but this is more so just me, talking to a wall really, about my art, and style, and future development.
alright so i REALLY want to level up my art, ive noticed ive gotten better, faster even, at some of the commissions i do and even personal projects, but im gonna let you in on a secret, other than pokemon, i really dont have alot of inspirations for my art work, like i dont really watch anime anymore and i hardly read manga now, (but beastars and kevin and kell are amazing, also made in abyss, i need to find where to read that), and even artist i follow on FA or IB ok E6 even IG (furaffinity E621 inkbunny and instagram) i have the hardest time being like "wow thats a style i wanna emulate and make my own". like i can name some artist i love to see work from but i think im so lazy to study them and their work, which is hard for some people to say, but i say it about myself cause i wanna change that. I was really into
slugbox and his work, i find myself on IG looking at carles_dalmau, s0s2tagram, ibu_chuan, lanajay_art, peachcosmos, so on so on, i follow less than 200 people on IG hahah. As far as FA i really love

IVAN-JHANG like theres more, but these people do things in their art that i just love, between keeping it simple to doing the most extra stuff with fur color lighting or background details, i love it, i live for it, they'll probably never see this but omg youre awesome.
I wanna over haul my art style, i wanna do something new for me, not sure how to start or go about it, i wanna start going back to the old way i developed my comic, which i actually did traditionally, and finally after almost 4 years i got to 50 pages, which isnt that great hahaha. i want to find a more sustainable way to do my comic, like keep it in that happy medium of detailed but not complex.
I'll probably be doing studies, i might even start doing commissions for peoples characters in their favorite anime style or cause i want to practice, but i also need money cause i may quit my job soon im not sure yet (hate fastfood work~)
I have no idea how to get started, but im probably gonna spend alot of time watching the above names work for ways to simulate them into my own work.

in college, we do projects that are literally copying other artist to see what they do in their work that makes them successful pieces, and got graded on how accurate it was to the original, its called doing studies. once you've studied someone enough then you can start changing or doing things differently. it's about learning the process to develop yours.
so say you like the line work of persona 5, and you try to replicate it, but you find it takes to long to do, so then you start finding ways to keep some elements you like about that style, but being able to do it faster, soon you start to see the inspiration of persona 5 but then it has the artists own tricks and shortcuts incorporated, now their style is only inspired by persona 5 instead of a replication. even professional artist trace, and copy other artists, but they of course tell people "yeah i did some studies from (insert name here) to understand anatomy, shape relationships, color theory ect ect"
