[@alexbarber5998]

@@lovechuu222 think she might of over did it a bit ,really what shes getting at the realism and cartoonish style looks good,at the end of the day its a matter of trying to figure your own style out by taking inspiration from other artists,irl stuff etc, so for example if someone wanted to merge realism and cartoon into their style then its plausible it just takes a while to hone on your style and what differs and sets you apart from other artist.
