#artstyle analysis

[emberchii]

I had a friend so something similar to this and I decided I wanted to compile all of the influences I could think of that have stuck with me long-form for the development of my art style.

How much of this would you have been able to guess, do ya think?

Aidairo artstyle study #1 ft. Akane Aoi

Aidairo artstyle - faces

Aidairo draws faces particularly roundish, and leans in heavily into a strange combo of anatomically correct and cat face theory.

The eyes are always large, and rounded as well. They're veryd etailed up close, and have a more sketchy style to them. The lower lid is always a simple single line, very small. It follows a short line down to the nose, following the curve of the cheek in profile view.

The pupil is rarely a solid black, usually its sketched or a simple circle in wider frames.

Both male and female characters have thicker lashes near the outer corners of their eyes. Their eyelashes tend to be simplified and a bit boxy in shape.

The jawline is typically short, and is rounded with a little sharpness.

The nose is a small dot in front views, and short but sharp in profile views.

The front of the face follows a distinct curve in profile view, and is made up of mostly swooping and straight curves.

The mouth is relatively simple, mostly rounded. If teeth are showing, there is thicker line work to suggest the straight edges of the teeth.

The ears sit right above the curve of the jaw, and are detailed as well. They tend to be a bit large for typical proportions of people's ears as far as manga go, but its done rather tastefully.

The eyebrows are rather simple, usually curves. In some panels, the eyebrows are outlined.

The connection between jaw and neck is relatively short. Its a simple straight, rather easier to figure out. The neck itself is not very thick, and is rather thin compared to the head in front view. In profile view, it fits very well since the head isnt very thick.

Blush is done with straight lines going down, not very neat and sparingly, right below the lower eyelids.

i really enjoy how the last scene of viktor and jayce has inspired people to explore color palettes and markmaking. in recent years the fully blended artstyle has become very popular, and there is an indefinite beauty in it, but it becomes repetitive at times. seeing this BEAUTIFUL hand-drawn scene inspire people to expirament with patterns and designs in their pieces just pushes my theory that the show is sparking a new unique renaissance within the art community. keep expiramenting! keep being inspired!!!
