“There’s all kinds of art styles I hate”
*Cue picture of Big Mouth*
Krookodile
Tbh, that art style scares the shit out of me
(The hormone monsters are a pretty cool concept tho)
I honestly really liked that show and as I watched it I was actually there for the content and not to laugh at the style. ;-)
YES. FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE FUCKING HATES THAT STYLE
Is that Jyushimatsu?
I love that show so much
Art Style Theft is like 2 people arguing why they have the same car.
Hirata Somethin best comparison I've seen hands down
More like apple arguing that someone's table looks like an iphone (and should therefore pay for it) ;P
Asteria bitch what
not really
Hirata Somethin I thought you said Art Theft and I was about to get mad because Art Theft is real and it happened to me (physically not online). But it said Art Style Theft so I agree. Personally I like drawing anime with my own little touch. I hate it when people say that anime is unoriginal and you should avoid drawing it! I can do whatever I want bish.
Art styles are like handwriting, but you gotta know how to write basic letters, symbols and numbers before you have your own handwriting.
thats a bad example you always have ur own handwriting
@@morpology Bro tf are you talking about? Did you read anything I wrote???
@@ohokay9420 he probably just saw the word *handwrite* and proceeds to comment blindly
no you dont
True that. The way how I write in kindergarten is nothing like how I write now.
1:07 thanks for putting my style in there bro
this comment needs more recognition
@@junkalicious_ Yes

The best art style is "stick figure". Good shit

thanks
But there's a whole bunch of stick figures! For instance, Henry Stickmin looks different from those guys from XKCD!

If you make a genuine mistake and then say “It’s just my art style!” then that’s the equivalent of saying “I didn’t spell this wrong, it’s just my handwriting!”
Some people also make mistakes with things like shading, but when you point it out they say "it's my art style!" even though they would still be drawing in their art style if they *didn't* add shading to that particular drawing
No, not really. A spelling mistake is something concrete. No form of art is concrete.
@@VOKZEL b-b-but I have to feel superior 😭
@@VOKZEL "No form of art is concrete" This is true, with a massive caveat. I think what people have a problem with is how art fundamentals are more or less concrete, and an artists ignorance on the topic, whether intentional or not, is what annoys people. I'm not going to look at someone's shit drawing of an anime character and say, "I'll let that pass, because it's obvious they are trying", spoiler alert, drawing anime usually means that A. you lack fundamentals, B. you aren't even trying, C. you might be an indulgent degenerate.
It's fine to be indulgent, like with my anime example, but when someone calls you out on it, the last thing you should say is, "it's my art style!", because it most likely isn't. I should know, I used to be one of those kids who drew anime, and that time spent drawing anime proved to be detrimental to my development as an artist in the long run.
@@SleepyMatt-zzz no fundamentals are concrete and defying them creates interesting developments and drives improvement
"It's not an art mistake, it's just my art style!"
"It's not a punctuation error, it's just my writing style!"
"It's not that I'm sleep-deprived, it's just my sleep schedule!"
"It's not laziness, it's just my work ethic!"
"It's not a car accident, it's just my driving technique!"
"It's not a criminal offense, it's just the way I follow the law!"

You stole my art style, since you drew a simple circle, and thats how I draw MY circles!!
See you in court!

"But handwriting, like art styles, can sTILL SUCK."
welp.
i found my new catchphrase.
plz no
Plz yes
Plz
Youre art is so bad you should use it as a catch phrase
@oofingberg ok, first off, you’re only going off a decently drawn pfp. Second off, it’s *your. They aren’t art my good sir.
I hate when people use the excuse 'it's my artstyle!' when someone critiques their anatomy or facial features or smth especially when they're trying to draw realistically. Like there is no "iTs mY aRtStYlE" when you're trying to draw realistically.
Honestly, if someone tells you it looks off “IT LOOKS OFF”. Don’t just ignore them, fucking learn why it looks off and take criticism.
@@a_wanna_be well, it depends if you're trying to make it look off. it's also pretty lazy and unhelpful criticism if they don't tell you why it looks off.
Fr
My mom used to say the characters I draw had lower torsos that r way too short. I argued that it was my art style until I finally realised that I have to change it cause the lower torsos were shorter than the top part lol
@@funnylittlecreature Still people want to give helpful criticism but will still go out of there way to say it’s just they’re art style.
Finally someone who doesn't like the Big Mouth art style. It seems everyone I discuss it with says the same things. "They did that on purpose so you can't dislike it!"
Edgy Boi who likes that art style any way???
Just because they did it on purpose doesn't mean you can't dislike it lmao
I honestly dislike it and it looks really awkward to me sometimes
Edgy Boi it's like watching Lion King with your friend, and they say that you can't hate Scar 'because he's meant to be evil' or something like that
maybe the show just sucks so bad the fans need something random to defend
@@drownedgod I enjoy the show overall, and i can enjoy the art style too. It's meant to look awkward at times. And i enjoy that.
"Are styles are like handwriring" I really liked that. Never thought about it that way before 🙂
handwriring

@@maxlovesbread LMFAO
The artstyle is like handwriting. The basic drawing knowledge (anatomy, perspective, color theory, etc.) is like grammar. You can bend the rules with how you write, but you can't bend the rules of grammar. No matter what, a grammar mistake is still a mistake and will ruin the look of your sentence.
ppl still care abt grammar lol. go get a hobby
@@bur_n_t People still use abbreviations? Stop annoying people on the internet and do your chores (also you should of used a question mark (?) Instead of a period (.) In your first sentence)
@@a_reelskitface If you really want to be so nitpicky about punctuation (and btw, a period is not incorrect since that could have been a rhetoric question or a statement), at least get yours right. You didn't use a period at the end of the sentence which is like the biggest punctuation mistake one can make.
Not to mention the usage of "should of" instead of "should have", it is beyond me how someone complaining about grammar or any kind of poor writing can make such a mistake.
@@aixide I never put periods at the ends of comments and descriptions, and I've been raised to know should of, not should have (I have absolutely no idea how to make this not sound passive aggressive but I'm not trying to be rude)
@@a_reelskitface Well that means you're already better than me beccause I was definitely being passive aggressive lol, it just annoys me when people cling on to grammar mistakes. Do whatever you want tho

That's the most amount of life I've ever heard from Solar Sands.
lop must stop hes dead inside
*"cAN STILL SUCK"*
_CaN sTiLl SuCk_
what about "PRICELESS!"
Shit, your right
( .-! )
Some people have very similar handwriting. Some people also have very similar art styles. It’s really not that big a deal. No one is stealing your art style because that art style is not yours. It’s not copyrighted. It’s not illegal to draw something in the style of a specific cartoon, so why is it so wrong to draw in your style specifically?
Exactly it just annoys me when someone claims That the art style they use is theirs. Like I use chibi art style but it's not mine But you can't steal the person's art.
small bean the doodle I also use chibi art style
Art styles is the same as handwriting, even if some looks alike, it's not theft or anything. However, if you steal someone's poem, story or whatever shit word by word and claim it as yours, THEN we have a problem.
your art style (no matter who you are) will always end up as an gross amalgamation of your favorite artists' styles.
I mean if art style 'theft' was actually a thing then every anime on earth is a copy of each other
People with an artstyle: *not able to make something perfect to match their normal style*
Me with my inconsistent artstyle: “I AM SUPERIOR TO YOU MORTAL”
Goose sometimes its a pain tho, every character i do has a diff style how is that even possible T^T
Me. Many people have same face syndrome, I have sporadic face syndrome
Typically I can bend between styles when I'm drawing different characters, but my own have the same basic style most of the time. I think.
@@kisielkiwiii847 thats fine. The hyperfocus people have on developing an artstyle can be detrimental. Just keep drawing and experimenting and learning, and over time you will likely naturally develop a process and a style. Even if you dotk see it now there’s probably something about your work that might set it apart from others.
Even if you do have a well-defined style, you’re not constrained to it. It should all be focused around your enjoyment and growth.
*Mistakes ≠ “Art Style”*
Mistakes are general mistakes. You’ll never learn if you can’t suck it up and take the criticism. No matter how negative.
why do people on tumblr give characters noses that are red like they have fevers like are they okay
ikr
I think it stems from those old kids books where the nose is slighly more redish than the rest of the face
And it might also just be them trying to be more *a e s t h e t i c* or whatever
I think they try to give it more depth but seriously though you’re right
to pretend its not generic anime art
It's easier to carve out shapes when there is a darker color
As someone who's art style has gone from (very anime), to realistic, to (heavily inspired by another artist), to cartoonish and back again I think putting too much pressure on one's art style and trying to make it stay consistant and recognizable can stagnate growth as an artist. Never feel afraid to challenge yourself and try new things.
yes, i think that we should just draw freely after learning the basics and doing what we want, letting our art style develop naturally.
Yes the basics are important. I had an art teacher who once we finished learning the basics of anatomy and completed our assignments would let us work in any different style or art medium. She even let me submit work digitally or traditionally. I even learned a bit about animation in her class. Other students didn't bother trying anything at all and either failed or had horrible grades despite her being one of the few teachers I had who marked assignments based on how much effort the student put forth instead of what style or medium they used as an artist.
yeah, i agree! i've always had an anime art style but lately i've been doing more (western) cartoonish and also a bit of realism. i also think it's important not to confine yourself or any artist to just one style! you can do things with one style that you couldn't do with the other, and part of being an artist in my opinion is expressing yourself and/or your ideas in whatever way you want!
It's also okay to use a different style when using different mediums. I always use a different style when animating compared to digital art or traditional art. Sometimes you may have to alter your style to fit the situation. (or your client's vision, if you are doing art commissions)
Lapist Macir That right there, kinda scares me. It's like I finally found my style and then some people are saying it's looks low quality and when I go back to being inspired by other artists, they'll flame me. I'm still learning the basics of everything but I fear, I may run into that problem one day.
By the way, those of you who are FREAKING out to find an art style. I got to college and majoring in Animation and Game Development, having an art style is actually looked down upon. Not being flexible enough to meet any style, and being locked into one style is actually very detrimental to your growth as an artist.
Pavus The Pug Thank you. I’ve been worried about my art style and what it should be, and this is helping me.
Honestly art style comes naturally
“But it’s my ART STYLE!”
No. Having an art style does not excuse absolutely horrible anatomy and lazy drawing. Sorry not sorry.
Unless it’s cartoony or chibi
@@woahwoahwoah7530 cartoon, animation, chibi, you have to understand anatomy well in order to distort it and make a good simplification
彡G O I S still qwq. The proportions are adjusted
@@woahwoahwoah7530 those don't fit much in the "horrible anatomy" it's just stylized, but it still looks real. Like even how adventure time has noodle arms but it's really just simplified and follows the "icon" of an arm so our brains don't react much. Like how the fingers in Mr. Bean look like how a kids would draw it but it you still know it's human fingers right? But if you excuse your hands having the thumbs in the wrong way such as it not pointing to the body when it's waving as "it's just my style" then you're wrong and *that* is an actual anatomical error.
just Peachy that was long and I had a stroke. Thank you for thst
Anyways it’s stikl a styel
It’s almost like people have *taste*
Quelfiado well hello there

Soldier: Dear god...

An art style is an abstraction of realism. The saying "You have to know the rules before you can break them" applies here. Your style is defined by the details you focus on, and the details you choose to leave out, all in order to get your desired effect. Every cartoon creator and popular artist has learned realism at one point, because that's how you learn the fundamentals of art.
I've never drawn realism. I've tried and it ends up anime style
@@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012 practice is everything ;)
@@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012 That isn't exactly to say you haven't picked up on realism. Body proportions are learnt through proper referencing even if not noticed at first. You brain realizes how the body is shaped and structured through repeated practice and efforts. Even if you claim that you can't achieve realism, you are slowly but surely incorporating it in your art, though simply modifying to fit your style. Most anime artists start off with wonky proportions and lackluster body shape, but as they reference the appearance of the body, they learn to modify the actual appearance of the body to fit the style without looking distorted. It's one of the simple ways to tell a good artist from a lackluster one.
I love hyper realism , I keep getting better and it goes in the library where I live
@@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012 I have the same problem, though not as big as I used to.
I've been practicing anatomy, perspective, figure drawing and proportion and can tell it's improved my drawings a lot.
But God everytime I say "I'm gonna draw something realistic" I just end up taking what I see and stylizing it instead.
It's like saying to a doppelganger “YOU STOLE MY FACE”
i feel so bad for solar sands because in nearly every video he says "this is just my opinion" and in nearly every video he mentions people getting mad over the same damn thing, even though he has, an opinion of his own. and even after he mentions it in every video, the exact thing happens again. opinions exist people. geez.
I know it's the same as people saying "but that's just my art style!" and yet they get mad about it???
The "you can't judge art because you don't draw!" Argument is getting so overused it's starting to give me a brain hemridge.
Wait, someone still using it?
It's haemorrage/ hemorrage, actually. I am so sorry.
But for real though, ive heard that argument before and... i completely disagree. I let people who can't draw judge my art all the time, and they're pretty good at it.
its a lot easier to spot the mistakes in others drawings
Non artists have every right to critique artwork, even if they know nothing about it, but it's usually not very helpful because they can't actually explain anything to help you improve, or just blurt out random bs to try to sound like they know what they're talking about.
@@feathersong5838 well, they can help spot the mistakes, but since they dont know too much about art, they cant use the right words for it like anatomy for example. instead of saying "oh you need to work on the anatomy of the arm", they'll say "oh the arm is too big down here" . even if they dont know a lot about their art, its not hard to tell when something looks off which is why theyre still somewhat helpful.
that's funny that you would compare art styles to handwriting, my handwriting has gotten worse over the years while my drawings improved lol
He's never said that handwriting and art skills should go in pair, I think that was actually a good comparison. xD
He compared art style and handwriting, because they're both unique to each person.
ME
Fast note taking does that to you
Same. My handwriting sucks even worse than my drawing skill.
"just like art styles, handwriting can STILL SUCK" wow i'm happy my handwriting got a shoutout
2:59 "Jesus, I say the word "art style" a lot"
Me : But that's 2 words
imo, art styles should come to you naturally, you shouldn't push it.
Ange. Ways to master art is to copy till you diverge to where your aesthetics lie. This can be easily seen by how people learn arabic calligraphy , it takes years to put down the basics . This can be seen how most noob artists copy their favorite anime before they're muscles create memory , thos can be seen how old masters like leonardo da vinci trained under another master for years .
So no , art styles dont magically come to you when you wake up , its not natural its worked for
it can kinda of develop itself, but alone it takes a very long time
ange. Wr stole it from Steven universe lol

A little pet-peeve I have with these art style comparisions is that whenever someone draws a character in the Powerpuff Girls artstyle they always draw them as a Powerpuff Girl and not as a regular character from the show.

Orange Juice ok now i have to check
Never mind i gave up
Orange Juice Oh wow, I never could've expected him to say that so many times in a video where art style is the subject!
Make a compilation about it
When I hate an art style: * is silent cause I'm in no place to judge how people draw their art and I can't criticize something I don't understand fully *
When I like it: * makes gentle constructive criticism while going on about the art and how it works really well *
When you repeat a word so much, you start to become numb to its meaning and it's just becoming noise.
I can't remember who made it, but I saw a video about stealing color schemes and I was just like

I can't find it anywhere anymore though

"Art styles are like handwriting"
And just like handwriting,
Everyone's drawings are unique :3
"You can dislike an art style."
Holy guacamole thank you
Solar Sand's Art Style Video but every time he says Art Style it speeds up
Another one could be Solar Sand’s Art Style Video but without the word Art Style
What I hate is when someone says: "It's just my style" as an exuse to not get critisism, I understand if you're not feeling up for it or don't like it but say that instead of saying "It's just my style". One time I said this to a person "Hey this is really well made but in one part of the drawing I can't really see the line-art. I recomend having a darker colour so it fits the rest of the line-art since that's darker." their reply was "It's just my style" then later they decided to delete my comment and their own comment. This was a person I looked up to and who started my style, to get that comment from that person made me looose respect for them. I still follow them but I don't really comment that much on their posts anymore.
This is something very common from the artist community, they can improve even in their own style themselves depending how the work is done. My biggest cringe goes with the use of Ad Hominen to avoid criticism, like "I studied with professors", "Im a teacher", etc and they feel like nobody can criticize them. :|
Tu vieja en tanga / It isn't really that they don't want to hear or take critisism that annoys me, it's the excuse itself. And yeah true.
The Kindest Soul ah, I get it. Like why giving excuses in the first place? You can disagree to a crit and thats it. No needed for explanations.
Hate it when that happens.
I hate when someone says it's they're style But when it belongs to someone when they gave credit. I have a chibi art style but it's not mine I just like drawing it.
Some peoples’ art styles are just painful to look at, especially if they overuse neon colors and make the eyes as big as the whole entire head
Take a shot every time he says “art style”
Omg why does he mention the topic several times?!?!?
My art style is kinda cartoonish and kinda realistic... but I'm still learning soo...
Welp, meh to ;) x3
DJ Flareon no sTOP
Eli Hall what? owo
DJ Flareon The cringe.
Same lol! #ImprovingSquad
Having your own art style is fine and all... But excusing your poor drawing skill as your style is an issue of all...
Hey it ends with same word
Edit: y'all happy now?
You rhymed all with all... not sure that counts :P
Have To Agree With Peanut People Over Here
Asterbel Music please don't rhyme "all" with "all"
Asterbel Music my old art style was bad... like... the style WAS bad. It's as if I was trying to make it bad on purpose.... I was in grade 2 though... but still it was very very bad...
Asterbel Music qq
I'm nearly 28 and still trying to discover my style, tbh. I like to work with a lot of different ideas and bits and pieces from other works and artists I like and love.
My current art style is unfinished and artwork abandonment
I know I’m late but you can have multiple art styles and that’s okay. That what I do too, I have multiple styles depending on what mood I want the drawing to be
I really like that comparison between handwriting and art styles. It’s actually really smart, like, I never thought of it that way
Can you say "style" one more time? I feel like it wasn't said enough.

*Thank you* for using Big Mouth, it honestly is the ugliest cartoon ive seen by far. I dont see why people like that show.
ccbella I don't like Big Mouth either, but it's not because of the art style (goddamn is it ugly). Never really liked shock/gross out humor, I often compare it to jumpscares in horror movies/games, both are cheap tactics used to surprise people and catch them off guard. I always find myself rolling my eyes after hearing jokes of the sort, and quickly drop shows that rely heavily on shock humor.
ccbella I totally agree with you! That show’s art style is so fucking appalling and disgusting!
I don't I just like the story
People don’t watch it for the visuals....
HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH
Forget about art styles for a second, I gotta develop my handwriting, so much harder to learn than you'd think, nobody talks about it.
“There are no mistakes is art, just happy little accidents”
:o
Two ways to get an artstyle:
1. Blood sacrifice your mom and open up the key inside your soul for your own artstyle to come out
2. Steal someone else's and soon it will morph into your own
Art styles have become more important to people than they actually should be. Art styles are needed when creating a comic or cartoon show. I think they are developed as the artist develops.
Necco Dealer there will be many people who are good, but the one who stand out will be the one who is unique.
YES THANK YOU
I realy like your videos! Just watched too(the other about those animation memes) but i got hooked on what you have to say in the future! :D ! So going to subscribe, keep up the good work.
I can't believe this was recommended to me again out of the blue. I gotta say though, this was a great brief overview of what style is. I still remember the pen example all these years later. Solar Sands has all of my respects, bro.
the handwriting analogy actually works really well. messed up anatomy isnt an art style because its like how you have to learn to write each letter before you can make you handwriting pretty if that makes sense.
I honestly am so tired of hearing the word “style”, and I don’t think it’s healthy for new artists to dwell on it so much. Just draw what feels natural to you at first and maybe make more personalized choices later, but I think it’s more important to understand proper proportions and anatomy than to focus on just having it look “unique”. Trust me, if you spend enough time drawing, it’ll begin to look unique on its own.
Absolutely agree with you
Schleepy that right there, is called a style buddy
This comment deserves more likes
Juni's art always drags my eyes in, like a spiral. It's just like a spiral isn't it? I can't get enough of it, it just keeps on dragging me I need more.

I really liked how you compared art styles to hand writing... never thought of it that way :D
Huh. I thought it was an analogy from another person
@hydroxide petrichor oh damn, nice!
N o ಠ_ಠ
The evolution of this channel is great. It started at entertainment from looking at cringy art and changed to learning about art and how we can get better as artists.
I guess I have 2 different art styles
-The cartoony anime art style
- The Simi detail anime art style
Yes I know the names sucks but how would you name an art style
I get scared whenever I give someone a reference for my character in case they think something that is a stylistic choice is actually part of their design
imo you can't "find" an art style. you develop it during your art journey by trying different things and looking at your favourite artists' art and TAKING INSPIRATION (do not copy,jesus pls) from their art and applying the things u like the most to your own art. just keep practicing and you'll notice both improvement and consistency to show!!
Alfonso Razo you're kinda right! practice won't do any good if you're practicing something wrong for the whole time. that's why it's also important to do real life studies and use references~ and about the inspirstion thing, there are many things you can get inspired by! you would be surprised what can actually bring you various ideas, that's why it's good to always carry something where you can write those ideas down ^^ i don't think anyone leaves their house without their phone nowadays, so it will be easy to write down ideas as soon as they come~ one of my favourite artists said "you know the saying "think outside the box"? bullshit. there is no box. you're on an open field, with ideas floating all around you. and you have a butterfly net! you just have to catch those ideas before they float away" and i couldn't agree more ^^
Saeyoung Choi did mush roomie say that? (just a wild guess about the box thing)
Kibitzer ah sorry for not making things clear^^ of course i meant not to steal other people's artwork and claim it as your own, but also - copying art and/or styles may be beneficial to the artist, but only to a certain extent. every single artist is still improving, no matter how good they are, and if you choose someone who's still in the learning process then you'll most probably make the same mistakes they do. i think learning from real life things is better ^^ of course, i can't say it's easier, but it certainly helps you notice the mistakes faster.
I'm a cupcake yup!!
I used to trace coloring books pages when I was in first grade cause I liked the art, but I did that twice. I then started to *really* get into art when I was in third grade. I practiced nearly everyday, and looked up TH-cam tutorials, and I started getting better. I would look up cute pictures on Google. My current art style is a mixture of semi-realism and anime. I'm proud that I can say that I'm self taught, and even prouder that I stuck to something so complicated. Even with all of that I'm still learning and practicing. Of course I don't like my art style much, but I'm working to improve it! 🤓
I've known a few people that delete all bad comments and focus on the good ones. They haven't improved their kindergarten "style" referenceless shite
I hate when people sometimes just cant accept negative opinions.n
I hate
I do that so they don't get hate
Not because I'm sensitive.
Some people are very defensive and attack others for having an opinion.

"Art style is like your handwriting"
Me and my shitass handwriting: Guess i am not an artist lol

Solar I know your channel is 33% meme but your videos genuinely help me with my art. Good video thx man.
I love that your not afraid to tackle subjects and and give your opinion regardless of its controversial or not.
“What separates an art style from a mistake”
Good lord, I had to process that for a bit.

I loved your points on art styles.
I do think that a lot of entitled artists think that mistakes in their art is just their art style which is just an excuse unless it was intentionally done that way.
I think artists nowadays are more entitled and stuck up when it comes to art styles and their art in general because a lot of them deem actual constructive criticism as a personal attack (I've had this happen to me once with a popular artist on Instagram not too long ago and two of her fans and boyfriend were awfully rude to me over it. She lost a fan that day). And I'm not saying all artists are like this but a lot of them are and I think artists need more thick skin and be more professional over their work than be overly sensitive about it.
I like that handwriting analogy, the more you write/draw the more likely your style's gonna change. If you make a deliberate choice to make your handwriting neat, the better looking it will be. It's the same with art, no matter what you gotta make a deliberate choice.
For everyone who draws in the Powerpuff Girl art style, that’s perfectly fine, but the big eyes and fingerless hands are not actually stylistic choice. The Powerpuff Girls actually look like that compared to normal humans because of how they were made in the guy’s basement.
Princess Meme The Goat Thing
... How do they walk? How do they even fight?!
Ayyy lmao HoW Do ThEY HoLd AN oRAnGe GLasS?!?!
Princess Meme The Goat Thing I agree. Plus it is super lazy to only draw in the PPG style, when your OCs have nothing to do with the PPG universe.
if those features were chosen to signify their difference to normal humans THEN IT IS A STYLISTIC CHOICE. what goes on in your head to think like this?
La Potato yeah but half the time the characters drawn like the PPG are normal humans anyways.
solar sands drinking game
take a shot every time he says art style
futuristicfirekitty rose Damn if i had a quarter for every time he said it I'd be a millionare 😂😂😂
Oda1526 ikr 😂
I really Like when people do art styles of cartoons and the ones I've seen they give credit ( I Honestly can't draw that good so the fact people can draw all those styles is pretty cool to me )
Take a shot every time Solar Sands says “art style” in this video.
You’ll die of alcohol poisoning

I don’t think that art style theft is a thing just because there are so many art styles that are so similar. Aka the furry art styles or anime art styles heck even my little pony art styles even ppg art styles.
Style doesn’t sound like a word anymore
Some of the biggest leaps I took in my personal style were usually born out of re-investigating the elements of design. I would look at art from artists long-dead and would churn out stuff completely different from their's but sometimes I would utilize a color theory or shape consistency from pieces I enjoyed. I got pieces that got me A's and that I was proud of. My worst work is usually work rushed within a day or two after browsing a couple Google image searches. Maybe this doesn't work for everyone, but I found tremendous benefit in studying from a group of artists from different time periods and regions.
looking at your motionless logo for half the video is like drinking coffee from the day before.
My favourite art channel. Interesting and tells only truth.
You alway upload videos right when I'm in the mood to see them. weird
carolina gomez hi
I think a simple way to describe style is your most preferred way to draw something, or like your default mode
I love lavender towns art style
