@@Ichigitchyyayadada there are artists that went blind or partially blind during their career in history like Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keeffe, Edgar Degas etc. And for artists who were born blind - Eşref Armağan You really don't have any excuse to not make art

[@takaradachi]

Absolutely not. Go for it!

[@HappyKatze]

The pizza analogy was pretty good 🙌🙌

[@kurohshiro]

Haha thanks! I love metaphorically stuff to explain my points xD

[@Sauren_sen]

The second style feels like you might be inclined to add more elements in an illustration, but your original style has this mature and elegant charm to it that’s irreplaceable ✨Personally I like the first but I also like the hints coloured line-art in the second

[@kurohshiro]

That ks for sharing your thoughts! I actually like my style but when I see people with cool and funky art I want to try it as well to see how I like it or if I can borrow some of their aesthetics for my normal style ^^ I think that's the main point of experimenting ^^

[@wasabida8475]

This video is actually quite helpful. I, too, have been feeling stuck with my style and often envy other artists' styles, which has resulted in me not wanting to finish a single work as of late. But I've been getting better after trying and not worrying about being "perfect", and it's really refreshing. Not to mention, I enjoy watching speed paintings while working to learn new techniques that I can use to my drawings. amazing video Kuro as always ! learned more things in a few minutes.

[@kurohshiro]

Aw I understand! I know what you mean. Seeing an art style wants..e to drw like that as well but at the same time I also want to make Art like another artists and this leads to some sort of crisis and art block and frustration which makes everything worse. So being less of a perfectionist is really wholesome

[@samanthak831]

My own art style is under development so this is a good reminder that art styles are a combination of what you love from other artists with your own flare thrown into the mix. Thank you very much for another wonderful video. :)

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! I agree on that, and actually I think an art style will never be a finished thing at the end. Its development is endless and that's wonderful. It helped me to be more calm and lighthearted about myself and my art :)

[@kuroneko8396]

the evil one is cute !!

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thanks!

[@mothy83902]

This video is incredible! I've been wanting to try picking up art again but the process is so terrifying to me. It really feels like a rigid box with rules sometimes, but your video is helping me to realize that I need to break down these imaginary mental walls i've formed around art. I love your artworks and its incredible to see you able to break down your art process and style to make an "opposite" version of it.

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! ☺️ yes, actually my art blocks are mainly caused by my mind, cycling between people's expectations and my own over thinking. When I see art style as some sort of goal I have to achieve I will never be happy because it's not achievable. Learning is endless and so the development of an style. Knowing this helped me to be more free and less stressed about the performance :) I am wishing you all the best and thanks again for your comment :3

[@GuranPurin]

Ahh, Kawaii version of Rin! He turned out really cute! It's really impressive being able to have dramatically different styles! This is such a useful video because I really wish I had developed an art style sooner. Though, I still wouldn't say I have one fully set in stone yet, it would probably a lot further along had I studied specific artists sooner. But I appreciate the experience of having gone through it, since I was actually thinking about this recently. My way of drawing certain characters has evolved a lot in just a year and now I'm a lot more confident when it comes to drawing them than I was in the past. I sometimes get worried that maybe my way of doing things isn't really what the algorithm likes, but I just have to find a way to make it work!

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me! I agree on that. Nothing is for nothing when you can say it like that. Everything is some sort of learning even if it means going back to things we used to do and continue from there again. It's not possible to not get influenced by other artists and I love that about Art! It's something so personal and every style tells a little history :)

[@mochimona]

I like both of those styles. And thank you for this video, this is VERY insightful how someone can study and "copy" other artstyles and make them their own. This was really helpful!

[@kurohshiro]

Yeah! And even if you copy you still add your own experience and visual handwriting to it. So it will never be a 1:1 copy and that's good. So it's so valuable to learn and understand ^^

[@mochimona]

@@kurohshiro true. I recently starting to do exactly that and it helped me so much already. Your video came at the right time! Thanks again for sharing

[@haiyang29_]

Thank you for making those kinds of videos. I don't know how to explain this, but your explanation makes it so much clear for me. Sometimes I put so much pressure to art that it turns being a mess in my mind, but seeing your videos makes me realise that I just need to take times to analyse/learn more from others artists works to understand mine. (And more importantly to enjoy doing it). Thanks a lot again to make those videos it's really helpful for us small artists!

[@kurohshiro]

Wow thank you so much for this sweet and encouraging comment. I am so happy to hear that it's helpful in an artistic way but also for the mindset. I noticed when I am thinking too much about my art how it should turn out, what people expect and what I want that it's not working at all to make art I truly enjoy. It's stressful drawing with the latent pressure in mind of performing. So taking a step back and being more gentle to yourself helps a lot :)

[@Haru_ru_ruu]

Nothing better than after a long and stressful day watching a video of yours, thank you very much Kuro, stay safe. 💜

[@kurohshiro]

Aw that's such a nice thing to think about it that you enjoy watching them after a stressful day, I am glad my videos keep you accompany :3 thank you!

[@LovelyTrendyCoolGirl]

I'm not a beginner artist and I haven't really fussed about my art style for years now 😂 However, the perspective of looking at what an art style is and the exercises mentioned are actually really helpful to break the monotony of drawing and getting out of art blocks. Another excellent video Kuroshiro 👏

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks! I guess no matter where you are at your art journey art style is a big thing. And to look back and see where we're coming from is wonderful and motivating in my opinion ^^ thanks for sharing your thoughts with them :3

I think you really managed to analyse your artstyle, showing a deep understanding to how it works 😔 Sick art as per usual! I want to try to evil art style challenge too now ahaha

[@chunta9196]

This is the most beautifully broken down art video i have ever watched, thank you very much

[@d1anna61]

This post actually really helped me almost instantly. I’m not really an artist, but I draw regularly and created good pieces of work. But lately I’ve just been thinking that it’s not really my art style. But when I thought of the pizza thing, it helped me out a ton!❤

[@akin0hi24]

I've always enjoyed watching speedpaints personally especially when studying but somehow I have this lingering feeling inside me that's like asking myself if am I just copying this artist? But this video made me realize, even that too, is part of the process. Learning and unlearning all these actually makes the entire thing easier to digest in the long run. Thank you Kuro!!

[@kurohshiro]

That's true! And we will never be able to copy an art style 1:1. It's always influenced by our own experience and skill and it's an interpretation of a stylization :) so basically part of learning and improving from the "copy"

[@Saiphine]

Very helpful video! I have mostly been focusing on learning the fundamentals so my art style is very much under development. But whenever I come across a piece that has something I really like I try to incorporate it into my next work. It's not always something I will keep using but it's fun to try it out. Coincidentally I also added the outlines to shadows last time, and I might keep it!

[@kurohshiro]

That's great! Even if it's such a little detail like an outlined shadow its part of the whole style and little by little we develop a natural art style :)

[@Kitsuyomi]

you did such a good job kuro! I thought I'd knew the answer before I watched the video but you really did bring a different level of insight onto incorporating art styles from reference ^^ love the end result :D

[@kurohshiro]

I am so glad! Thanks a lot. And yeah, I am happy that many artists know that styles are an accumulation of various influences and that they aren't settled in stone ^^

[@nanamitakagi2702]

Thank you for another helpful amd well-made video! I think the pressure of having an identical artstyle has always been the problem for artists. After more than 1 year of taking digital art more serious, I am still taking my time settling my artstyle (since I do the similar things you showed in the video, learning different styles from different artists. And honestly it works wonderfully for me). There are a lot for me to learn and pratice that I need to do to get there, your video is like a good guidance for me in my art journey. Personally, I love both of the drawings but I refer your artstyle more! I love the balance between realistic style and anime style you have, my artstyle goal is something similar to that.

[@kurohshiro]

Oh thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts with me! Right, art styles are always somehow influenced by something which already exists but it's the skill of the artist personality to make it something very special and unique. I always open references when I draw, may it be art by other people or pictures. This influences me as well and even if it's only subconsciously, it's forming my current art style and yeah, it's nothing more than learning what works and what we love to draw (in a certain way) :) thanks for your comment ^^

[@nanamitakagi2702]

Yes, it's about finding the most suitable way for us in drawing. I used to draw without reference thou, but after watching other artists using reference (especially you when you combine the references instead of just going for exactly one reference at the time) inspires me to do the same. I'm getting used to that, there is still room for improvement.

[@sephirothschestmole]

woww i have soo much to say but the chibi rin just activated my cuteness aggression he looks so so adorable 🥹 aand this analysis is well-thought out, and i can for sure say i relate to a lot of things in regards to my own journey of finding my style. as you’ve said, i think a lot has to do with the work process, and mine has been heavily inspired and influenced by yours :D while it’s been fun experimenting with different styles, now i’m personally struggling with being consistent with the style i wanna go for, buut i think it’s gonna take a lot of time and practice :D as always thanks for another fantastic video, and i look forward to the next one!! 🫶

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thanks for your nice and wholesome comment! I am actually honoured that my art influences you🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ and yeah, being consistent with an art style is hard but the more you draw the more you'll notice what works and what doesn't and that's the consistency ^^ hope you have a wonderful day :)

3:00 Starting new pieces is actually the reasons the art doesn't improve, but I remember you once said "starting new pieces would helps if you're lost when you're drawing something difficult". So I just wanna ask how frequent should I do this method...?

[@kurohshiro]

That's true, when I fee stuck with one piece then I just open a new canvas and start all over. But what I meant with feeling stuck with my art lateis because I don't experiment with new things. I always stay with my usual (maybe wrong) habits and that is really hindering me. I hope this makes sense 😅 sorry for the confusion!

Hello! I am very glad my videos are inspiring. That's such a huge compliment! actually this example of finding an art style isn't very authentic since I knew what my normal style is, so that I could draw the exact opposite. But it's basically how it works, just over a long period of time with a lot of trail and error :) I am wishing you all the best for your art 🙇‍♂️

Actually.. I am very thankful for this. I have no idea what just happened but your video came at the right time. I literally hate my own art everything is hard. If I can’t draw what should I do then? But I finally realised that drawings isnt about perfection. It is about fun. And if you can’t have fun with drawing. Why bother doing so? Thanks for this really. I really really needed this..

[@kurohshiro]

Oh gosh right! I am so glad i posted it today then. I know what you mean. Art is my identity and when I don't draw a loose a huge chunk of myself.

[@kurohshiro]

Hm why not begin with her style? :) I can't think of anyone besides some people I showed here? But once you find a nice artwork of her on Pinterest you can look for the suggestions of other works and maybe you can find a new artist like that. Or look who she's following :)

As someone that can't help but draw in several different styles, i still consider myself a beginner and that is only an issue to me when it comes to gathering followers....ppl like when they can expect a constant

[@kurohshiro]

That's true. People like consistency but that's also a big issue because then we don't draw for ourselves mainly but more for meeting people's expectations. The people who loves your art will follow you and cheering for you when you try out new and exciting things. They want the best for your art :) at least that's my point of view ^^

[@alexandrakeruchii]

Both are so GOOD! Love to see how you combined all "toppings" together. That was very, very inspiring. I really gotta take time to do more style studies of artists I admire and put them together. I did learn, since I started digital drawing, that it does take time to find what works and what doesn't. Only after attempting different stuff, I'm starting to get used to the idea that I find using lineart works better for me, so I guess I'm finding part of my style. A direction. I'll keep studying more "toppings" until I find more combinations. >

[@kurohshiro]

That's such a good mindset! I think so as well, trying different things even if they are serving the same purpose, it's important to understand what works and what doesn't and maybe something was alright till you tried something new and then this new technique or learning is the right topping ^^ thanks a lot for your comment :3

Personally, I'm not a big fan of the funky, colorful style, but I totally understand the desire for artists to try new things occasionally, so as not to end up as a mere photocopy of their own skills. I've been experimenting with different styles for the past 2 years, including yours, especially focusing on facial features and proportions. It's been a lot of fun. ☺️ Anyway, I prefer your style to the "evil version" because it looks more mature and has a color palette that smells like autumn light and mist (and not like candy and cotton candy). I hope you know what I mean. 🙈

[@kurohshiro]

Oh I see! Thanks for your indepth comment and observations. The analogy with the smell is very interesting, I never thought of that ^^ but yeah, in order to know what we like to draw we also have to make the experience of what we dislike. So for this the challenge was very helpful :)

Should've made a video specifically to promote your plush, would have sold more than 11 with only 6 days left if your fans actually knew about it.

In my point of view art style is more like how an artist observes real life beings and reflects them on paper each time i grab the pen my workflow changes help

[@kurohshiro]

Oh I understand this. I guess that's the point that an art style provides some sort of safety but observing really life is so so important. It's a needed skill to be able to simplify things (which then become an art style). Applying this knowledge of real life is difficult but therefore we can study how other artists are doing this. How artist xy is simplifying a hand or an eye etc. I think this takes time :)

[@vodarii]

@@kurohshiro Exactly! You're always so on point with many topics regarding art unlike others, stay safe kuro 💗

[@Sylphy_art]

Hello. I really like the way you draw...but I'm still learning how to draw anime. I wish I could draw as softly as you. I tried to paint with your brushes. but it turns out so-so. I guess I draw more roughly.

[@kurohshiro]

That's okay! The tools aren't making the art in the end but they can help to carry a certain aesthetic or look. I think when we start out with something completely new then it won't look good at the beginning. Or it does but the following 20 pieces doesn't. And that's okay and part of the learning process. So please take your time. I am sure you're doing amazing :)

Whoa, each time I think I comprehended how cool you're, Kuro-san, you manage to surprise me! Rin was already heart-melting bishounen, and now you turned him into the cutest blueberry mochi UwU. Also your kitty avatar is absolutely adorable, I hope to see again :3 It was supposed to be the 'evil' challenge, but it turned out to be the 'sweet' one :D Also I find it informative how you break down other styles and implement their aspects. You can watch speedpaints for days but that won't help if you don't realize what exactly you like in an artist's style and how to recreate that. So thank you a lot, Kuro-san, I'm extremely glad I found you, your art and videos teach and inspire me more than you could think ♡(>ᴗ•)

[@kurohshiro]

Gosh your comment made my day! That's absolutely sweet of you ☺️ that's true! It's not that evil haha but that's actually the hilarious thing about it lol also I agree with you on the part with the speedpaints. When I really like a certain style I am more able to analyse it and tel what exactly I like about the art. I think this knowledge is very important. It's easier to understand things we appreciate ^^

[@anukaryi]

Danke, nice wie immer :) Wie machst du das, dass du unter dem Navigatorfeld die Refrenzbilder anzeigen lassen kannst? Ich bekomme das bei mir nicht hin. :(

[@kurohshiro]

Hey! Ich benutze nicht das Navigatorfenster. Ich öffne alle files und mache die Fenster klein, dann ziehe ich sie mir im Arbeitsplatz zurecht. Wie Bausteine kannst du die Fenster an und abdocken. Du kannst auch für ein und die selben Datei zwei Fenster öffnen :)

[@anukaryi]

@@kurohshiro ah verstehe. Danke!! [°^°]√

[@mrmili7]

I could not find the download link for the brushes

[@parystyrell]

This is pretty helpful though, sometimes i really want to rake more than just two things from one artstyle and then it just becomes copying😭 i believe i lack creativity

[@kurohshiro]

Nahh! That's not a lack of creativity because you are adding your very own touch and handwriting to the copied style. And we learn so so much by copying others and making them our own and justing them to our own habits, standards and life. Not only in art but also when we learn a language or walking ^^

[@munnsin]

Like your own artstyle better, it just looks like you. The second one is cute too though

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you for sharing your opinion! :)

[@losersGuide]

I love art

[@shinazuma]

It's hard to choose, cuz I like both style!

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you! I learnt a lot from forcing a different style so maybe I can implement this into my normal style :)

[@shinazuma]

that will be nice! Especially the outline shadow, it gives it a nice feeling. It will be nice if can u implement it on ur normal style

Can you teach how to draw eyes like yours? 🥹🥹

[@Alice00001]

Gotta say, my toppings are all over the place. I think my pizza wants to be a burrito, a hotdog and a toast instead of a pizza. At this point I kind of gave up on the whole art style thing and I try to focus on just being satisfied with whatever that pizza morphs into.

[@kurohshiro]

That's such a wholesome mentality and mindset. I agree with this. Be whatever you want to be, burrito, wrap whatever. And actually it's not important to find a term for your style but more a whole experience of visuals, methods and fun :) that's much more important than a label like "pizza" aka "my art style is only using desaturated colours and I only draw men"

[@Glycer]

HIIII, LOVE YAAA

What if I sat that I love all of styles equally? It's so hard to decide 😭😭😭
