Why is an artistic style so hard to find? As can be seen as you read my yaoi manga, my style towards how I draw characters seems to change after each couple of pages.
Part of this is because:
- I have never been able to find a style that I like.
- What I want to achieve I don't know how to do within Manga Studio
Hence as I try and battle with these two points I keep coming up with new style creations (some looking better than others lol).
After becoming an active member on Deviant Art I found a tutorial which explained how to alter line widths to show where light and shadow was within a picture. Although I knew varied line width within an image was important within manga work I had never really understood how it worked. Hence that tutorial was a light bulb moment for me. I suddenly realised what I needed to try to do within my work and suddenly taddah I had a style which a. looked good and b. I was finally able to replicate.
So when looking how to get an artistic style, practise and try a lot of different things and one day await the light bulb moment when you can finally say.... "This is it!"
