The art lesson I attended as a "taster" at Paston College (A levels), seriously opened me to the thought of the whole Manga themed work being quite the same in general "styles". It's your own representation of someone elses created style. And it's far harder to find very stylistic versions of Manga that don't always follow the whole "big eyes", "small features" rules. So I find myself slowly moving away from Manga because of this. It's really funny though, as most of my art had been based on this for quite a few years. I personally think it would be far more beneficial to the person if they followed their own style instead of someone elses. The only real reason I followed Manga was because of the culture it was linked to, but it seems quite limiting to the kind of artist who wants to be more expressive in their artwork. What are your points of view? No "I objects", it adds nothing to the conversation @ Matan> It's been so sunny here, I'm surprised that I even have to throw off the sheets at night D: Last Edited By: Light Zukashi 06/30/09 14:57:29.

We're slowly fazing from the american culture and and fazing into other cultures by combining what we like and dislike. So could it be that we like drawing in that "style" but want to improve or change it? I'm not really qualified in that topic. This may be wrong or right I don't know but I saw an episode of Ghost In The Shell that there was alot of discussing so I TRIED to sound smart. I reject your reallity and replace it with my own..... which means I'M RIGHT AND YOUR WRONG

It's your own representation of someone elses created style. And it's far harder to find very stylistic versions of Manga that don't always follow the whole "big eyes", "small features" rules. Lately, I've found manwha more interesting just for that reason. There's more focus on realistic features where manga tends to simplify and in some cases oversimplify their characters. It's stylistic though and essentially aesthetic (ie: some like it, some don't like it for the exact same reason). In regards to general styles in manga, American comics are no different--I'd say it's worse actually. I think it's easier to distinguish between manga styles than American comic styles. I'd like to see more variation to be honest. Or even a mixture of the two. I suppose manwha is the next best thing to me. So I find myself slowly moving away from Manga because of this.

What are your points of view? No "I objects", it adds nothing to the conversation I'm along that same wavelength myself - "moving away from manga". I like manga, but I don't enjoy drawing it as much as I used to. What's even worse is after I try not to draw it, I can still see it in almost every one of my drawings. It's like an unfinalized divorce. Or that itch you can't quite scratch off. Or some other relative metaphor to describe how I just can't get the manga out of me. I've been basing my style off manga/anime for years. This is what makes it difficult to just follow one's "style". Something tells me I'm stuck with it no matter how many different techniques I practice. My DeviantART Gallery My Manga Bullet Profile ~LuLu~

This is what makes it difficult to just follow one's "style". Something tells me I'm stuck with it no matter how many different techniques I practice. American comics: Adam Hughes. His stuff is like some bizarre mix between manga, American comics, Mucha and (somehow) Disney. He's great. I think he does the covers for Catwoman comics or something... he's on devArt. Yeah, I kind of just stopped doing manga when I wanted to draw people more the way I saw them. And, though, of course, Kinetic is right, we do copy others and combine all their styles (resulting in an entirely unique style), just copying from manga or manwha can result in a rather monotanous look. I wanted to draw like Norman Rockwell painted, with the biting humour of Jordi Labanda, and the discrete but expressive linework of 1960s Marvel. I can't shake the manga either, though. Especially the eyes and the mouths; the eyes aren't huge or anything but there's something about them that I can just see is manga inspired. It's odd. Very odd. "If we don't stand up for the kooks, who will?" "It's up my leg, man. Squirrel's in my pants[.]" "Sorry about the crowbar, kid." "There are two kinds of metal in this yard: scrap and art. If you gotta eat one of them, eat the scrap. What you currently have - IN YOUR MOUTH! - is ART!!" --Quotes from the best animated film ever.

When you remember that the modern anime/manga styles evolved from the old skool Disney-like cartoons, this guys art is technically a Western interpretation of an Eastern interpretation of a Western style. ...Which totally works. Oh, and big up my homie Stan Lee.

Like, I really like the work of the guy that drew Wolverine: Origins, but I can't stand the art in the first few volumes of Runaways. It really depends on the artist. The main thing I've always respected about all (or at least most) Marvel/DC-style art is the careful attention to proportions and anatomy, which is deffinately not something I can say about a lot of manga and anime (this does contain exceptions, of course, as does the Marvel/DC one). Shane Gray, from Camp Rock, says: "I'm Shane. Are you up for a canoe ride later?" "I don't want to waste my summer at some camp! I'm Shane Gray for crying out loud!" "I learned my lesson! I showered in cold water! I looked at a tree! It's been three hours, I need hair product." "It keeps the posers away." "You know, it's nice talking to someone who gets it. " "Why, are you jealous?" "Because of your mom. And her job at Hot Tunes. People probably always fake around you." "What? You don't like going in circles?" "You're in the room, I can see you."
