don’t be so nervous babs, she’s totally into you
people who copy another artist’s style instead of trying to develop their own
Is totally ok? Because 1)Finding your own style is hard 2)There’s nothing wrong with learning by imitating someone else and adapting your own variants 3)There can’t possibly be that many unique styles in the world per artist.
What are you meant to do, sit down and think “Oh I want to draw this! Ugh, but I can’t draw the eyes like this, because this is how that artist does it.. oh but I can’t do the nose like this, because I know of someone else who does it like that..” no one would ever draw anything. :/ I don’t think people should 100% copy someone else’s style but surely it’s a good way to learn?
that’s not? what i’m saying at all, though??
i’m talking about the people who are perfectly capable of drawing in a style of their own, but choose not too because a certain artist’s style is popular/they admire an artist a lot, and thus want to draw EXACTLY LIKE THEM. rather than taking influences from multiple sources while drawing, which is what you really oughta do.
i’m not saying that it isn’t ok to take influences from artists you like!! i do that too, goodness
but for an artist who takes a lot of pride in having a style that they believe is original style, having their style copied to a T can be kind of aggravating. ;;
(also, you can very easily have a unique style!! i can give you a laundry list of artists that i enjoy especially for how they’ve made their style their own.)

people who think an artist is stealing someone’s art style just because it looks the same
people who don’t realize that there is a complete difference between people having similar styles with similar influences and people who blatantly rip off existing styles so obviously that you can clearly tell who’s style they’re emulating without giving any credit to the artist that they’re ripping off
