I like the colored line look a lot! I agree it takes so much more work, especially lineless. But, it looks so clean!

Haha, he'll probably never find out? But hey, that's awesome you landed an internship. That'll get you to train 💪

Whatever works for a certain piece is good.

I'm of course influenced by a lot of artist. Quite a lot being silver age comics from America and Europe that I grew up with. But not trying to copy anyone or any particular style.

Yeah, I see a lot of Silver Age influence in your work. Your lines are raw in a good way, and your bold colors and dark shadows are very much of that era. But that said, I can tell it's yours.

My art style is inspired by the flash animations of the 2000s. But I still have to improve a few things, in this case putting more effort into my artwork. Something people say I don't do.

eh I’d say cartoony

dats really it

some say my stuff resembles some late 90s to 2010s flash animations tho and I look at that and honestly I’m not really sure how to feel about it but I strive to improve my art soon tho

I think my art-style is mostly classic Cartoon Network-esque with sprinkles of Anime.

My style is a style. Woah

My art style is heavily influenced by late 1990s and 2000s cartoons

arggghhhhhh more trainiiiiiiiiing!!!!!!

thanks for the advice, i'm trying to find the time to do these sort of things

animeish with extra thicc lines, I suppose

I do not think I do

Sometimes, specially when I like their style, so I can pinpoint what I like about it to try and implement it on mine

I do not mind, I like when people talk about my art regardless of what for

probably. chewing on bubblegum or something. but when its all chewed up so its a little tougher but still gummy

I kinda wanted to make a post asking people if they can identify my art style, maybe someone could do it here?

I feel like other people could see certain aspects of my art more objectively than I do. I would consider my style to be something like "Semi-realistic anime". Though my gallery on Newgrounds is currently pretty inconsistent, cause I sometimes copy other art styles, and my sculptures probably don't have much of a style either.

The truth is, although my style seems a bit anime-like, it has its own essence. I feel like I'm trying to adapt to reality and add a little imagination. Sometimes it's a bit complex, but hey, my style is evolving.

After that, I don't have much to say. (False)

Honestly I try to keep my style simple and not too complicated, though one of my main inspirations and the thing that is keeping me going in art is the legendary Fujio Akatsuka, which he’s known for being the King of Gag manga. I honestly think they should change it to THE GOD OF GAG AND MAGICAL GIRL MANGA.

(^ one of Akatsuka’s legendary classics, Osomatsu-Kun)

Though Obviously as most of you can see, I still have a lot ahead of me before I get my style more polished. But with what I got right now, I’m pretty positive to where my style is heading, I just need a bit more knowledge and time

I suppose the only really distinct features of my "style" is the jagged linework (zoom in and you'll see), the slitted eyes on most of my characters, the scribbling/markmaking with a low opacity brush set to black to create texture (sometimes), the gums showing on most characters. That and the fact I cheat with the relief filter when "shading".

I got some of those ideas from flapjack, but in a forum post I've made a pretty long time ago, I basically called it "the bastard child of regular show and bob's burgers".

it's sounds great. I like the name!

I've always had the idea of having my artstyle be defined by a mix of 90's and 2000's animated shows and 90's and 2000's animes. I think the best way to put it is taking Sonic as inspiration, like, he was made with a ton of american inspiration (Specially on Felix the cat and Mickey Mouse design), but also fit to an shonen type of energy.

Sonic is cool af but he can be funne aah

That's the type of energy i want to have. And now in 2025 i think i kinda mastered, sorta? The idea of having a little bit of inspo of a little bit of UPA made a huge change, but still manage to respect the idea of cartoons and anime fused, i think. So, in short words: Put things on a blender lmfao

Wobbly cartoony looking things I guess. Personally I’ve never really thought about my style that much to where I think about what it is. My dad though always tells others I draw like Dragon Ball Z stuff, which ya’know I find funny because I casually enjoy DBZ and respect Toriyama but not enough where he’s ever been a source of influence.

but in my old man’s eyes i’m basically doing the same thing lmao i don’t see it but he’s thriving

I've got a few different ones but i wouldn't really know what specific names to give to them.

• I've got my starter one, inspired by manga and is fairly realistic. Ever since starting to draw Slim & Jim and their cartoony style, some of said cartoonishness is dripping in. I use these mainly for my characters Estri, Noelle/Nemikro & Folekroth and Sammy.

I've never thought about giving a specific name to it and don't compare it much either. If anything it may be interesting to see what associations other people may have, though i would like for folks to look at my art and analyze it as a thing of its own too.

• There's the just-mentioned cartoony style for Slim & Jim. A big inspiration here for proportions was No Straight Roads (love that game) and at the time I encountered the works of the user Jumpbreak96. I think it's fair to describe his style as bold colors & thick outlines with very stylized bodyparts and details. His style is what i thought "Newgrounds art style" was like. From there I'm continuing on with cartoonish stuff and i'd say it's been going the strongest of all my styles!

In hindsight i think people may make Panty & Stocking style comparisons by way of characters' proportions and how they're styled. The term Y2K has been popping in my head too, or 90's comic styles, but i don't know how much water that holds.

• Finally there's the one with the digital pencil tool and *lots* of details. I mainly use this for my monster tales and (dark) fantasy world known as Nodrogont. More sketchy look, often painted rather than filled in with a hard color. A more traditional feeling for a world that is meant to be much less modern. A monster land with no humans of any sort-- somewhere between Darksiders, Legacy of Kain, Zeno Clash and Rayman. A bit of Oddworld too but without the technological part.

This style diverged from my starter style: I've always drawn lots of details to stuff.

There's a philosophy I have with monsters: That being that there hardly are any rules or specifications that say what a monster can, can't, should or shouldn't be. In that sense, a monster is the ultimate symbol of imagination. Anything can flow forth from the pencil.

Whatever story i make, there'll always be a monster or something monstrous.

There's a game from last year by name of Cookie Cutter that epitomizes this a bit too: Was made out of whatever the lead dev enjoys, a kind of summation of his tastes and loves in media throughout life. From music to cartoons to comics to manga etc.

At first Cookie Cutter put me off, but later on it fascinated me more to the point of very strongly resonating with it.

And now a motion comic of three NPCs in the game was my master exam to finish my game artist course, thanks to regular contact with the dev. That's how strong the resonance was with wanting to stick with it.

There's a genuine core to Cookie Cutter too: As out-there, offputting and sometimes harsh as it can be, it doesn't treat itself ironically. It doesn't use its world as the punchline of a joke, characters get to be their own thing and can come in all kinds of packages.

I think that's part of my style too: I want to be genuine, i don't want my jokes and humor to treat my stories ironically. Characters & stories are a special thing to me and i want to let them be their own thing too.

• Here and there i've tried out a style that i believe is called Chiaroscuro, inspired by Mike Mignola's art style. More of a technique than a style though: I've mixed it with the other styles here and there.
• Same goes for shading with the Airbrush tool! I've tried some shading with the paintbrush tool too. With the airbrush tool it's been exclusively black and white and any grey color in between, but with the paintbrush tool i've done experimenting with shading and lighting in different colors.
• There's also hatching and crosshatching which I've used in a few drawings here and there. Sometimes i use it, sometimes i don't.And sometimes i mix such techniques too.

(EDIT: i initially wrote something regarding more spicy art of mine but i wanted to keep that behind a filter for reader's comfort and to stay in line with the thread age rating, but i don't know how you filter text)

My art style is based off of BaasNG and Critatonic and the Renaissance artworks.

Thanks! Drawing goofy and exaggerated things is fun for me. Doodling is something I can do to past the time.

When it comes to my art style I've developed two tried and true ones that I'll teeter back and fourth between (ignoring all the times I enjoy experimenting and trying to change things up). While both of my styles are anime based, one leans more into anime with exaggerated proportions and features while the other leans a bit towards a more realistic approach in grounded/semi-realistic proportions and features.

And the more anime like one also tends to lean more towards an rkgk kinda feel because it's typically where I'll take sketches and clean them up a bit, but still leave a touch of a messy vibe because I simply LIKE that feeling. It also typically has more varying line weight. While the other I'll tend to clean up and refine a bit more with --while still varied-- more streamlined line weight.

But hell I also just like to experiment a lot and do studies or art that mimics qualities from other styles too! So my art style can be kinda up in the air sometimes besides a few stronger, consistent things that I do! Like honestly, for any style, I simply love using pens with no antialiasing. Something about pixelated lines just makes my brain go brrrr; I love it, I love those funky lil crunchy lines.

That’s advice I’ve gotten a lot that I have a try earlier last month and it was awesome! I could practice at it more though

As a central European, I always pictured my style to geographically be a middle ground between the west (cartoons) and east (anime), combining them both for a unique look.

Now, my more recent change of style delves deeper into old Polish comics, giving the artwork a sense of national identity. You could say that after taking something from both sides, I settled for something inspired by my own native culture.

You're just starting your art journey. You've def got that 2000s Flash Spirit! Throwing yourself into animation was a good idea. I think if you want to grow more, draw things you normally don't, try to get all the details in, and train your brain to simplify those details for animation. Then you'll be a master animator 💪

I can see what they're saying, and that's not a bad thing. You're on Newgrounds! 😄

You sound like you want to improve, and that's a good thing! Drawing from life will give you a strong base with your art, and start messing around with different art programs and even animation programs. Train and have fun!

Bringing that 2000s goodness together! I like how you animate facial expressions.

I can see it! I like the flat shading and your gesture work. 😄

Definitely animeish! I love how bright and happy your art is. The thicc lines are so good as well as the flat shading, like 2000s Japanese game art. 👌
