I started off simply drawing t3h animu. Like many other idiot wannabe artists I made the arduous, circuitous hermetic journey of studying form, expression, and anatomy so now I can draw animu characters that don't look like ass.

Good question and good thread going on here.

I tought about it and i guess MY style is a mixture of a thousand influences, and is still evolving.

My very first experience with comics was mostly from europe. France, Belgium, Spain, with stuff like the smurfs, asterix, tintin.
and than american and japanese with the marvels stuff and early  anime cartoons.
where will it end?
i dont know, but i hope it's no time soon.

FFF.

I was thinking and your all great artists, Maybe you should all take the same character, dont matter who and draw him/her and see the difference in your styles i thought that would be a cool Idea not even muscle girls just anything would be cool for instance you could all draw a tree in fall and see how eachother would do it, thats my two cents haha

We did that at Wreck's site for awhile. It was fun…. Then it all went very, very bad 😡

Yea I remember, but thats why I also mentioned it not be a muscle girl just to  keep it real ykno

My artistic style…I tri to simplify the muscles as best as I can and I don't really draw veins on my muscle girls; they would take away from my muscle girls IMO.

I don't think I can add much to this discussion – but I don't draw with a style in mind.

The way I draw is that I surround myself with references of whatever I need, from photos to illustrations, and based either on how well it illustrates what I'm trying to draw or if it possesses the emotional resonance or atmosphere of what I'm trying to create. It's totally dependent on what I'm doing.

Generally, I'll draw what needs drawing, so for example, I may use Adam Warren's manga style illustrations to help with a face or action, Adam Hughes with fluid beauty, or a reference to get a basic structure of the human body appropriately.

I don't spend time on going, "Man, that isn't 'manga' enough, or 'fett' enough" or whatever. I just put the lines down until I have the pic I want, borrowing whatever tools from whatever artists' have used before me.

Since Adam Hughes is by far my favourite, I generally end up using his work as a reference, and no doubt, borrow the tools he uses more than others, resulting in what I self-mockingly call 'tracing Adam Hughes'.

Fneh.

I don't read much comics, so I'm not familiar with Adam Hughes.
