Before answering rq, i already know about “learn anatomy bro” or whatever. But i wanna know like how does one combine or create their own certain style, what tools or tactics was used to achieve different styles.
There is a style i do wanna try and learn/pratice about, however it uses two - three different styles combined to make one whole style thats “valid”
(I dont just want “practice” as an answer btw, like how does one actually practice to create and form the style theyre into that many dont use to create their own set of anatomy, detail, shading, etc)
Take inspiration from the styles that you like and try to replicate it in your art, while you’re doing this take note of what you can replicate well and what you think you can improve.
Personally I’m trying to do something like Apollo’s style but my skills aren’t up the the task clothing or anatomy wise
So I’m practicing anatomy bit by bit at a time, as you can see my characters have gained hands instead of just using a blob
Those who said stuff like that are those who have no idea what they were doing. They basically just let their muscle memory become a habit that is good or bad (which can be good or bad)
Instead of learning anatomy, I suggest you try different types of color palettes, the use of smooth or sharp shapes, and choose thick or thin lineart to want to build your art style.
The way you color and line art your work can make a huge difference in style, so try those and see if that works for you.
Find what you like in an artist’s style and try to replicate and put them in your own drawings. You can do art studies of artists you enjoy by observing how they do the lineart, shade, or even how they create that sort of atmosphere to their drawings!
There’s this really cool channel that I like to watch called tppo. He did some really cool art study videos of artists he like, and tries to replicate their style and implement them in his own drawings. In the end, it’s basically a game of observing and implementing!
