How do you develop a signature style, /ic/?
Like whenever your art is posted, people know its from you.

I wish i was the guy who drew pic related. People always mistake for someone else because i copy a lot.

I've heard that the more you force it, the harder it is.

>hey guys i made this and i want to show it but i dont want to post in the related threads in case somebody misses the fact that me, Chink O'Chinkingtons is posting in the board
back to /pol/ with you
>>
wow he is THAT well known
i thought im the only guy who can tell his drawings
>>
>>2491757
Just find some stuff in your drawings that you think looks nice, practice exaggerating those things and focus on refining it so that they come out in every piece you make.
>>
>>2491757
Copying will prolly degrade your style, mang.
Never seen it help an artist in the past. Copying a few small assets is fine, as that's referencing (at least how I see it as being defined, whereas copying not only takes the idea, but the piece itself), but copying whole pictures will get you guess where?
Good at copying.

Anyway, as for style, I recommend doing what >>2491779 mentioned and just kinda experimenting.
Draw eyes realistically.
Draw how your favourite animu draws them.
Draw them how you want your girl friend's/boy friend's to look.
Just screw around and learn what you like.
>>
>>2491757
It happens as you get lazy, sketch quicker or force symbols and shapes into things
>>
>>2491757
I love how you've improved, I just wish you started drawing more with fundamentals.

On the flip side how do I practice emulating styles?

I'm newer to drawing and really like Arakis style in JoJo

Pls no anime art bully
>>
>>2491822
redraw it.
I don't remember what it was called, master something something technique, but trying to copy drawing of others makes you understand the way they draw.
>>
>>2491840
Master study?

>>2491842
I'm 78.66% sure this is the right answer

>>2491822
Reference renaissance art, thats how araki does it

>He draws those poses in purpose
I thought he would make lines to reference the position of the characters and then draw around it.

I din't know you could make such a hilarious out-of-nowhere moment on purpose

People only recognise you on /ic/ if they hate you.

You earn that hate by posting often enough to be remembered.
>>
>>2492537
No you earn that hate by being a samefag and shill. If he would have just been like "this is my stuff, check it out" in the self-promotion threads once in a while without immediately replying with ridiculous amounts of self-praise posing as different posters nobody would have given a single crap.
>>
Meh , u just bullshit it man , after some years , people will realise it's your work , no biggie.
Some mistakes i did as an artist was copying animu shit and wanting my own style , still lacking anatomy skills , fuckin basics.
You just have to stop caring. Remind yourself that it will look good after some years and you will evolve .
Just move on.

>>2491852
I always assumed he used gay porn as reference.
>>
>>2491757

If you're really bad, you tend to stick out. Malaysia, Chunbum, Illastrat, they all are instantly recognizable based on how shit they are. That's not something you should aim for.
>>
>>2492685
i only know malaysia
ilastrat and chubum are fucking irrelevant nobodies compared to malaysia

You don't develop a signature style. You just become popular and associated with that style.

Look at Rebecca Sugar. There's a lot of people who draw like her, but since she's popular, that's become, "Oh hey, you draw a lot like Rebecca Sugar".

The only reason people are mistaking you for the other artist is because he's popular, not because he has a signature style.

how come malaysia is never mistaken for someone else

everything he draws is his own work its so weird its like he is the best new thing

a new picasso

he's not like any other shit scribbling retards here that you'd accuse of tracing.
>>
>>2491757
Draw realistically from life, photos etc. Also draw in styles that you enjoy. Just continue to try and get better and the style will come naturally. But ya, don't try and force it. It will be a complication of all you and learned including your strengths and weaknesses. But don't use the weaknesses as an excuse of your style. The weaknesses I'm referring to are ones that are unique to you bb

Because the other people aren't popular.
