We all know the style practice meme, you know, where you draw a portrait of your oc in different styles. Well, I've decided to switch it up a little - by doing fullbodies of multiple ocs.

From left to right:

Tirau D. Gemini in Yuusei Matsui's style, who, to be honest, I like more for his storytelling than drawings Irios Kedial in Hirohiko Araki's style - JJBA part 5 style, to be exact, as it is the one getting animated right now

Elizabeth in Rui Komatsuzaki's style. Damn, why does he draws character so pale?

Arachne in Hachi Ishie/Zakk's style. Check out Canis and Rojiura Brothers - they're both great.

Alex in @voize-art's style. So... I did randomize which character would be drawn in whose style and I laughed when it came to Alex, as @voize-art's works have at least partially inspired me to give him and Marcus a story

William Blackwood in Kazuma Kaneko's style. I was a little bit worried how will Williams eyelashes work in this style but I am happy about the result ^^

Check out my BL webcomic BDSM BOYS You can follow me on DEVIANTART - Animefanka TWITTER - @Animefanka PIXIV - animefanka_pix if you feel like it But if you’d rather get an art done by me COMMISSIONS Or some neat stuff with art already done by me REDBUBBLE And if you’d like to play some short visual novels ITCH.IO

I definitely already asked this, but I don't remember the answer lol. What would you said are the biggest inspirations and influences for your art style?

the influences for my art change over time and the things i’m interested in (like now I’d have to say I’m influenced by the anime art director of aot, but I don’t know their name), so this list is a little different from the last one but some people stay the same. 

Rui Komatsuzaki (artist of danganronpa), Kohei Horikoshi (we talk about him enough for everyone to know who he is i feel), Akihiko Yoshida (artist for nier automata, bravely default, etc), Akio Watanabe (monogatari series character designer) and Hiro Kanzaki (artist of oreimo and eromanga) are most of the professional artists that influence me. Komatsuzaki’s style is the one I used as reference when getting back into drawing anime a few years ago.The freelance artists I’m inspired/influenced by right now are ieafy, u_ka, owzki and nomain.

I think I should also mention Hajime Isayama as becoming an inspiration/motivation for me recently because of his success, hard work and improvement despite being ashamed of his art.

Introduce yourself Hello, I'm Sofi! I'm a digital artist from Hungary. My primary muses are birds as i can't get enough of their cuteness. I also draw fanart, mainly Danganronpa. When did you start drawing? Are you a digital or traditional artist? I could say I've been drawing for my whole life, but I've started taking things seriously only about 3-4 years ago. Do you use any traditional mediums? If so, which are your favorites? I use simple pencil, I like to sketch out pieces I later line and color digitally. I also do a lot of doodles/sketches with pencil when I'm bored.

Why do you prefer traditional over digital? (or viceversa) The ease of use and the extra options it gives. What do you think is the most challenging part about being a traditional/digital artist? For digital it's getting used to your chosen program/tablet. For traditional its achieving a certain level of control. Lot of traditional mediums don't allow for a lot of erasing, so a person needs a very good control over their hand. What inspires your pieces? I'd say things I see in everyday life. Places, people, animals, shows, etc.

Explain your "everyday" drawing process My process is a bit hectic. I have a lot of ideas so I usually start a sketch so it's not forgotten. Once i get back to that sketch I fully develop it, I also usually ask other artists opinions about it. I then do the line art which may involve some correction of things I didn't notice in the sketch phase. Finally coloring and background. Lot of the time I do backgrounds last because my pieces are very character focused. Do you have an artist you admire (or more than one)?

Jhonen Vasquez's style was very inspiring to me, though these days my style reflects more of a mishmash of anime styles. Because of that I'd say Rui Komatsuzaki inspires me a lot as he is the character designer of Danganronpa. Is there an artwork you are most proud of? Why? https://twitter.com/Sofi5252/status/967038172394909698 I don't think this is my best work, it's not even really similar to my current style and the hand isn't quite correct. BUT I feel like to this day it holds up. Lot of the time my pieces stray from the initial concept, but this stayed very on it. The idea for it was good too.

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing? I've been listening to a lot of Myth & Roid and Mili recently, besides that I like to listen to podcasts.

What makes art interesting for you? I guess that even art is just a series of problems needing to be solved. Needing to figure out how to correct mistakes, what to do for certain parts of an image, even coming up with the base concept can be that. There's always something to look out for or change, though we gotta know when to finish a piece. What do you do when art block strikes? I never really felt like I had a full on block, but if its a lack of motivation I try to power through it. What’s the most valuable art advice you’ve ever received?

I don't think I can pinpoint only one, art has many moving parts, and a lot of tips build off of each other. One that might have helped me a lot though is how I need to start accepting my art and how to deal with the frustration. Still not quite good at finishing pieces but I do it a lot more now then when I would get frustrated at everything.
