I have had a strange mini drama on da with a random person who gave me the opportunitty to explain what is my art style is influenced from and why I draw things in a unsual way. In a recap that strange personĀ commented on my art Ā ( Itachi and lamia screenshot) with rather hateful and rude and disrespectful comment and basically said:ācreeped out by my art and gets wierder and that proportions are offā, and itās anĀ āeyesoreā to them. Ā (everything is said on my da page in the comments).
She has litterally kicked me out from one of her friendās naruto oc fan group because my art style is an eyesore to her. She and her friend are admins of a naruto oc group. Oh wow, I had no idea that we had to fullfill some art style requirements in order to join a naruto OC group page. I thought we only had to have an naruto oc as requirement to join naruto oc groups, but now itās also about the art style as well. InĀ other words, anyone else who are on that group as contributors/members with their own art style or kishimoto-like style are okay, but not me.Ā
Dear me, I thought that Da is all about having a variety of art styles and respecting and encouraging people to created their own art styles.Of course without being so rude and judgemental lol.
* I have moved on from that drama, and wonāt be talking about that person anymore*.
Please know and understand that my art style and the way I draw anatomy is influenced from One piece and from Fashion design illustrators who are professionals and went to Art schools to get their Art degrees. I choose to develop my own unique art style that has body realism with a mix of anime and Fashion design touch .
I also went to an Art school and have a degree in Arts as well, I took lots lots of figure drawing classes and art related classes that were needed for my degree. From my hours of training and developping my art style that had nothing to do with realistic arts, it became like this. I have studied anatomy for a long time and this is just my take on it.
Can you all take a look at professional fashion illustratorsās their artworks? they also have an art style that has an exgagerted anatomy on purpose thus, their body proportions seem to be off and inaccurate because its their art style and are NOT following realistic body proportions standards.
So maybe people who have hard time believing me and accepting this, should go take a look at them as well.
I have put three drawing examples of a famous fashion designer illustrator who draws hands so tiny, limbs very thin and unsual and the body who seem to be off proportional as well because she exaggerates her proportions on PURPOSE. That doesnt mean that her art is bad or that she is bad at anatomy. she studied Ā fashion design at University of Art and Design Helsinki.
So this means she did figure drawing with real proportions before her art style became very stylized, and so it mine.
Here is her link to her Art Works Ā and to the pictures:

I hope you can understand my point of view.
Some people donāt seem to get that my proportions are not off in every art that I make because itās my art style that is like this, and I exaggerate my anatomy and art style just like a professional fashion designer illustrator, just like Laura Laine.
I love drawing elegant tall, thin and lanky bodies and limbs. So why some people make it a big deal?? OWO?
Everything that I draw is on PURPOSE and NOT because of anatomy mistakes.Ā
That doesnt mean that I am bad at anatomy.Ā
That doesnāt mean I donāt know how to draw realistic bodies or donāt know how to make protraits.
That doesnāt mean that I donāt know how to draw bodies!
That doesnāt mean that my proportions are off on each drawing.
My art is my art, just because I have taken a different perspective on it doesn't mean it's wrong!Ā
Ā That doesnāt mean that I have to do like what everyone else is drawing, for example, I am not entitled or obligated to draw my naruto ocs in Kishimoto style.Ā
Please do NOT compare my art style or my anatomy or skills to yours.Ā
Please do not come and start saying that my proportions are off compared to yours or to a realistic body art.
Ā As you can see my art style is totally different with a new perspective.~
So why some believe that they have a right to impose restrictions on what is art and what is not an art, and how I am supposed to draw anatomy and bodies in their own tastes or beliefs Ā and trying to bring down the artist?? .
Please be open minded and understand that there are so many different Art types and category.Ā
If you do not like this kind of art, then itās your choice, and I will respect that but please respect my own choice to have this kinda of art style as my own art style.
Thatās why some people might find my art as creepy or wierd and some might find it amazing and fascinating.
We are all different but if you come and start judging my art style and be rude about it, you will be seen as a someone who is hater and a bully.
We are supposed to encourage people to develop their own art styles and be accepting of all sorts of art styles.
If you truly want to help someone to improve or give him a critique, please ask for permission to critique the artist first . If so, then you can KINDLY and Gently offer your help on how to improve things.
RememberĀ If you want to critique someoneās art style or work, please do that with the intent of helping the person to improve in any way. And Give critiques that are constructive and logical. Not to just vent your personaly feelings so randomly with no real purpose.
No matter how straightforward or blunty you are, that doesnāt give you any right to be rude and disrespectful. At least apologize if that happens, think of how the other person will feel and see you as and respect their feelings.Ā
They entitled to feel whatever they feel depending on your critiscim, if they feel offensed by what you are saying, thatās their own feelings and itās validated..
Thatās why you can say something that you disagree or dislike in a nice and respectful way, but only critique when you are given permission to critique their arts.Ā
Donāt try to bash and be mean to the original artists, maybe it would be better to just focus on your art style and donāt vent your hatred of one specific art style on that artist itself because their art might have been Ā a result of another art style like fashion design illustrators and one piece creator.Ā
Donāt be a troller either.Ā
