Which art style do you prefer?

[Miruu]

I love to draw manga since i was 12 but I stopped 3 years ago because school alomst consumed all of my time. Now I'm done and I want to start drawing again. However people are telling me that I should draw more realistic cause manga is 'easy'. I disagree with that but I would like to here your opinions. Down below are some drawings from 3 years ago. At the beginning of the year I tried to draw more realistic.
which style do you prefer and should I choose one style so I could focus to get better or can I stick with both?

[ShortCircuit]

I personally like the aesthetic of most manga/anime styles best. Then again, it depends on the manga/anime. My favorite in terms of style is Nisekoi, but other series like Clannad have character designs with too many exaggerated features.

If you only draw for fun, draw in whatever the fuck kinda style you want. If you want to be a manga artist, hone in on that particular style and perfect it. If you want to be a game artist, unless you get hired by Square Enix, try to adopt a more subtle manga style. The characters in Legend of Zelda and Street Fighter are good examples. That way you can employ a bit of the manga style that you personally enjoy while still making yourself marketable.

I also love to draw manga and no it is not easy not say realiatic is easy either but manga can get hard with more deatiled stuff especially ehen with adding color it takes a lot of time too but the bottom line is do what you wanna do i love draw manga , anime anything really and i want let anyone tell me what i can and can't draw do focus on your manga you can always come back to realistc once yiur satisfied and i wanna see moe manga from you 😆

You can visit my old insta if you want _michiruxd_ I think i posted there a lot of my my manga drawings. But keep in mind that they are 3-4 years old 🙃 And thanks for advice

[MLGbreezy]

Yea no prob and i will thanks

I think people say manga is "easy" because modern anime/manga suffers from a really severe case of "same face same body syndrome" but if people do what you're doing and like... actually differentiate characters it's hard because drawing... is hard.

I prefer your realistic style personally but you should do what you enjoy.

I'd also recommend maybe finding some anatomy tutorials because yours isn't bad by a long shot but in the first picture that girl's spine is bending a full 360° and bones don't work like that.

[Miruu]

Yea I know. I don't know what I was thinking 3 years ago 😅 Thanks for advice

Hyperrealism

[Miruu]

Will take a long time to be good enough to do hyperrealism but I try and thank u^^

[idk_idc_wtf]

All the best :)

Its important that you love what you draw. People's preference shouldn't affect your choice in drawing

OH SHIT, DAT ERZA DOE. My cat's name is Cubellios yo 😂 that shits lit asf. On a serious note though, you're very talented. Art isn't about what other people think, it's about whatever the artist loves, and how the artist feels. There's a lot more meaning behind art than the average eye could ever realize. Do whatever you want, you're obviously very talented so people will love it no matter what.

While I like #4 the best-I think you should continue with the style you feel the most comfortable with.

Besides, just because you might want to stick with a certain art style right now doesn't mean it has to the one you're stuck with-people change and sometimes their art styles change along with them.

You should draw whatever you want. If you are looking to go into some sort of career with it you should look into which focus would be better for the field but if your just doing it as a hobby do whatever makes you happy.

[Greaver]

They are all amazing and I wish I had that talent keep up the good work

[Miruu]

Thanks again XD

An art is something that comes from you, not from us. You should decide which style you prefer and act accordingly.

[QueenofCups]

Do what you like to do. Your art will be way better if you're really into it.

[Tengjy]

Drawing is just like writing, it's supposed to be you isn't it? Don't give a fuck bout what we say, do what satisfies you the most

[kakaw]

I think u can do what u feel like doing, don't draw for people but for urself

[KarnaRoy]

I have not knowledge of drawing. But those sketches are very good..

[AguliRojo]

1 and 4 is my favourite. I am not into drawing (but did a lot of manga), its kinda nice if artist have something personal to add.

[batwriter1979]

An artist doesn't quit or stop with their style of art. Keep doing what you love drawing, Ms. M.

[Manish22]

Realistic one.. strongly recommend

[Matt-G]

Do both, you're an artist

[JAGASTAR]
