If you can't convey meaning in art through your own style, you are doomed to be a copyist instead. Real artists put themselves into their works and their vision shines through despite flaws. It's better to be remembered for your own style than be a forgettable copyist.

>convey meaning in art through your own style
and what does that mean?
>>
Sounds like a bunch of fake shit that you're insisting I care about. I don't make art to fill out the /ic/ soul checklist. I do it for me.

I basically agree. But, You can be a copier if you want. Ive seen many " How do I imitate this style?" Threads .

What if you just happened to have similar influences and ended up drawing in a similar style to someone else? Are you now a copyist?
>>
I think this is going to become a real pain point for a lot of artists, but it's also a catch 22.
>Copy other styles
>Unoriginal
>Develop your own style
>AI jeets/niggers it

who cares about this. thats all just window dressing. the important thing is what you want to do with your art and your style. what do you want to create? whats your goal?
>>
in order to find your style, you need to have a very strong sense of what you like and who you are as a person. With that comes a very strong idea of the kind of things you want to create. An organic style is just an extension of yourself. When you draw in a way that you really think is fucking cool and enjoy, that's your style. It gets refined as you continue to live your life and increase in skill. Style isn't some mystery, it's just that most people who want to start developing their style stopped forgetting how to create things that they really enjoy. That's all it is.

A majority of this board has "style"
"style" just means lack of fundies

I agree but you can have 2 styles, 1 is artistic and the other 1 is commercial, but only if you're a pro.
Want to make money? Copy whatever comic artist is popular right now, so Dan Mora in Capeshit, Gege and Fujimoto in Manga, Jang Sung-Rak in Webtoon, readers will eat it up.
