I think it's great that you're wanting to expand. I think it's very cool that it's possible to be able to learn a style of drawing by looking at the way other people do it.

Well, seems that way anyway.

That being said: I'd like to see Patchwork drawn. I've got a few really bad drawings of him scattered about if you want them for reference.

OH-HOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOOOOO~! So, you finally understand, Onee-san? The best way to develop your own style is to try EVERY OTHER STYLE THERE IS. Granted, this theory hasn't quite worked for me in full, but that's mostly because I never knew how to draw boys to begin with. I mastered (and by mastered, I of course only mean gained the ability to draw fanart on a whim without needed references to the artist's style) the styles of Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Digimon, Slayers, Naruto, Square Enix's character designer, Bleach (getting there, anyway- that kind of straight-edge oriented Shounen style is pretty hard for me), xxxHolic, Last Exile, FMA, One Piece (okay, not completely, but that's because that guys's style is AMAZINGLY difficult to emulate. It looks so simple in theory, but then in practice...) and have taken cues of certain aspects from the styles of Death Note, Air Gear, Samurai Champloo, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Okage, Host Club, various generations of CLAMP works (as their style changes with every manga they produce), Spiral, Saiyuki,

wow, you wrote me an ESSAY.
I already knew what you were talking about by absorbing aspects you like from other people's styles into your own, thats how my style ended up the way it is- which I believe you complained about in my Deviantart before. The problem is that I've mainly been using anime and video games, but I'm getting bored of that style. I want to try in draw in a western style for a while, and maybe mix the two into something unique.
LOL what is it with you and boys in drag? I'll try, but I don't know how it'll turn out!

I say screw people and their opinions and post what you want and draw what you like!
