shingworks what style of art is this called

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

shingworks In reply to WallysWorld1 [2014-05-12 18:30:01 +0000 UTC]

Probably "cartoony." Stylistically it's a mishmash of asian-american cartooning practices.

I know what you mean by the making the corresponding faces as you draw them. I doodle a lot at taco bell (free refills of baja blast, son!) and I'll often catch myself doing silly faces to get a better feel for them. If I'm drawing pictures of my son in public it's a given that I'll look insane.

SupremeTempest [2013-11-06 22:32:05 +0000 UTC]

That's more the expression I had watching Eragon. My face for the book was more along the lines of the 'jaunty' one on the top left.

its as bad as twilight

chana080310 In reply to derse-dreamers [2014-03-03 01:16:19 +0000 UTC]

I liked Eragon. And Twilight was written by a grown woman, whereas Christopher Paolini was 15 when he wrote Eragon. Anyways, the depth of the world he created is really quite impressive and in-universe consistency is harder than most people give credit for.


Oh, but it's a really great tutorial! Basic but educational, thank you.

derse-dreamers In reply to chana080310 [2014-03-03 02:09:34 +0000 UTC]

eragon was full of over the top descriptions and obviously copied off characters and elements from Tolkien


yeah he did come up with some nice names i can sort of give him credit for that


hey thanks for being polite
