What makes a western artist who draws anime shit less credible?

Let's say hypothetically he draws decent anime style drawings, ones which feature proper perspective, anatomy, etc that characters look "human".

Is he seen as more childish than the person drawing Steven Universe fan art merely because he is emulating an eastern style?

Wouldnt the former gain more respect on a technical level? Anime can look a lot more like actual people than tumblr noodle arms and western ''cartoony'' sloppiness, on a merely technical level anime style artists put more work into their drawings because their drawings try harder to look more human, perhaps not in the face, but in anatomy, some artists are very good.

So why the hate? If a western artist can successfully pull off an eastern style, then more power to them, but I dont understand why anime can be seen as a "lesser" style to western cartoons when so much of it is inferior in terms of anatomical features.

As long as it is decent I don't see an issue with western anime drawing. A lot of my favorite porn artists are western. And there are just as many bad japs as there are here.

It's not an issue if you learn proper fundamentals. I used to get told constantly not to draw anime and that I never learn. I relented and took life drawing and other drawing classes. Now I go back and forth between anime and more western styled things all the time and nobody ever gives me flack about it. In fact a lot of times it seems like people really prefer my anime influenced drawings. Not sure how I feel about that.
tldr git gud and people won't say shit

No one sees it like that other than maybe a handful of weirdos on /ic/ who are unhealthily obsessed with hating anime, probably because they were really into anime when they were younger and are embarassed of their cringy weeb past. That and tumblr landwhales who are obsessed with drawing pretty girls as ugly as possible.

This is just another one of THOSE threads where people would just post snippets of manga pages with distinct styles
>inb4 inoue takehiko spam for the billionth time
then trail off into talking about how not all anime is the same, then go back into the past and talk about /co/ level toonami shit and then start hating on moe anime and then start talking about how it isn't like it used to be and then a shitposter comes in and brings his /pol/ shit in here about how anime characters are white which then caps the thread by 200 posts and then another shitposer comes in and says "well maybe cause he isn't asian" which has nothing to do with the thread and then the thread hits 349 posts and begins to decay

There I just saved you the trouble of yet another waste of time thread that you may click the "hide" button. In other words, fuck off with this bait.

>lesser style

Because it's boring and generic as fuck.
"Oh look, this character is different because she has red hair instead of black". It's the absolute lowest tier shit that faggots on here will defend because they have some weird obsession with gooks. There's a reason anime fags hide their " art" from normal humans. It's fucking cringe worthy and effeminate. I have never had a problem whipping out my portfolio to any interested parties, but if I obsessively drew nothing but cutesy underage girls making stupid faces, I would be embarrassed as all hell to show that to the general public. It's fucking shit.

Anime is for idiots. It is a very specific cartoon style, and anyone who dedicates their art to this one style should take a long look at themselves before wasting decades on it.

You are both right

also the costume

>>2505477
Most anime is just realistic bodies with super deformed faces/heads and that requires atleast SOME knowledge and skill with human anatomy. While stuff like Steven Universe consist of characters that are all pear shaped or weird soft rounded blobs which don't really require any skill to emulate.

Because it's shit and way too many artists try to emulate something that's been done a billion times. What's worse is that they copy whatever their favorite artist is and there's no variation whatsoever. It's mcdonalds of the art world.

Drawing good anime requires skill.
A lot of /ic/ people seem to want to draw anime without practicing/learning anything.
Anime is more generic/limited than non-anime.
However, there can be both good anime and non-anime art.

In the end, none of this matters because people will draw what they want and practice as much/as little as they want, and seeing as we're not personally mentoring anyone here I don't see why we should give a shit.
