Re: art style my first instinct is to say the way you draw smiles specifically. I think if I saw your art reposted and that drawing was smiling I’d know it’s yours in a heartbeat.

From a more uh,, technical standpoint you’re very good and stacking lanky figures. That is to say you draw people very limber but unlike what usually happens where they then feel a little,. sparse and don’t fill a page/scene well, your drawings are very expansive and have a lot of depth to them. It probably has to do with your ability to draw very fluid poses and using that to your advantage but frankly it’s anyones guess

oh that’s cool! especially the second part bc that’s not really a thing i noticed myself. like i only recently started paying any attention to image composition at all, and i’m still in the stage where i’m kinda throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks. i’ve always cared a lot about things making sense in 3d (probably too much tbh) so maybe that’s where the sense of depth comes from?

#splashasks #seenoweevil #i actually don’t like the way i draw smiles but i think it’s just bc they’re basically a stylized version of mine #it’s probably the next thing i’m working on improving tbh it’s just hard bc mouths are SO easy to mess up #one pixel in the wrong place and the whole face looks off #the 3d reasoning thing has resulted in me having one of the strangest little writing squicks (maybe not the right term but)#i can’t deal with reading character interactions that wouldn’t be physically possible/comfortable #for instance a weirdly common one being that unless they have a HUGE size difference #a character being carried by another character is Not going to be able to hear their heartbeat!!#like i get that it’s cute but that’s just not feasible in almost any scenario #like u see how small meryl is compared to vash in my most recent drawing #and look where her body has to be for her head to be resting on his chest no way is anyone getting carried like that #anyway
