I fucking hate my vocabularies and my grammars so much.
>Sees different artstyles of characters like Bomberman, Wario, etc.
>Ask for help on Twatter/X [Fuck that site, I only like the Japanese communities]
>No responses, just full of bullshit bots
>Tried generating images of AI like Studio Ghibli style for understanding art styles, it give me generic shit for kindergarten that I can already draw.
>mfw too stupid with English to explain correctly on it.
>Asked AI to analyze the art styles because I'm looking for words to research.
>Gave me many stupid responses about what the character is, not the design.

Pic related [I might post more if I found more] shows me of how one dude draw differently. I want to draw like that and many times; I want to draw Haruki Suetsugu styles, Studio Ghibli styles, DBZ styles, EEnE styles, ANY cartoon and anime and manga artstyles, but I keep struggling to find the words, the studies, and more ways on "how to draw this in X styles".

I want to draw how anyone would draw.
I want to draw in literally everyone's artstyles.
I want to draw in cool lines, cool colors, cool shadings, uniquely and differently.

You know you can write in your native language and tell AI to translate it for you right ?
Your issue is less about language and more about deep retardation.
If you weren't retarded you could spot a style you liked and figure out what makes that style unique , what techniques are being used , what do you need to work on to get to that level etc.
>I want to draw in literally everyone's artstyles
That would require mastery over every medium , photographic memory as well as the ability to 'translate' anything into any style

Even my native-Spanish is very poor and terrible to ask AI about it, you jerk.

the words don't matter, just draw

His point is your goal is silly. The version of you who can draw any style is 10 years in the future and you can't even conceive of the incredibly hard work out took to get there. The you who has a pencil in his hand and is trying to copy cool characters even though he's scared to fail and doesn't know what he's doing is right in front of you and he's the most important person for you to be. The you 10 years from now will thank you for having the balls to try.

normally I would say copying artsytles wont help but seeing as you are ESL, its safe to assume you are trying to ape art styles to get in on the coveted patreon buxx drawing fan art.

If you have access to a shows art, even screenshots are helpful. You're never going to get anywhere searching for overly specific elements of someones artstlye. you have to study with the source matierial. zoom in as close as you can, take note of patterns, things that repeatedly show up. pen strokes, brush size, color use. Compare the proportions used between different characters. If your going to draw that goat in someone elses style, you wouldn't use one of his giant characters, you would use one that had a similar frame.

study is all about paying attention and being able to recognize patterns.

By copying artstyles, you mean tracing the official works or stare at the artstyles while try to draw on blank sheet without tracing?
>trying to ape art styles to get in on the coveted patreon buxx drawing fan art.
My portfolio is extremely obscure to make 20 dollars per month.

>stare at the artstyles.

I mean taking note of things. you dont need to trace anything. If you have to take notes. break everything apart of a design into individual pieces.

Like this picrel, or one image at a time, or from model sheet?
>study is all about paying attention and being able to recognize patterns.
That's one of tutorials I'm struggling to find or figuring it out on Youtube. I am not sure about take note of patterns because of "2D or 3D shapes" and "3D contour lines" where there's extra shapes that threw me off.

And when you said take note of things, you mean like this pic related or I have to write it down with words or both?
The answer may be very obvious to all of you, but to me, but I've struggle too much and overthinking of understanding and finding guides, tutorials, hidden rules, and such.

If you were going to make it you would have already tried both just to see what it's like. You're not even here for advice on existing work you've done. You're waiting for someone to draw a map from zero to being one of the greatest living cartoonists when you're unwilling to take any first step (they're all the right first step btw). Absolutely fucking delusional behavior.

>I want to draw Haruki Suetsugu styles, Studio Ghibli styles, DBZ styles, EEnE styles, ANY cartoon and anime and manga artstyles,
So do it then. Just find screenshots you like from those works and try to redraw them yourself; its really that simple

Here's how you can learn art styles (from someone who spent his teenage years studying practical methods for drawing):

Memory Drawing:
>Take your subject. Follow the outline and negative space with your eyes. If it's a photo, use your finger. If it's a live model (an action figure, plastic model, fruit, cup, etc), feel it with your hands. Focus on the subject for thirty seconds.
>Now hide the subject.
>Using your recall, draw it as best as you can from memory for thirty seconds.
>Take out the subject, and draw for thirty seconds actively using the subject as reference (as you draw, look at the reference).
>Repeat until you can draw it perfectly.

Copying/Tracing as Studying:
>If you want to emulate an art style, you need to break it down and distinguish what/how the style exaggerates or emphasizes shapes and forms. Take a reference and break it down into simple shapes. Note the line weight and how thick or thin the lines are.
>Make a master copy: take your drawing reference and make a replica of it. You may either copy or trace it.
>To replicate a style, take thirty drawing examples and copy/trace/observe/study them/break them down into shapes. Find as many official references that you can get your hands on.
>Study model sheets from not just the main characters, but supporting and side characters as well.
>Find motifs and patterns within the art style: what body parts are exaggerated and how? What shapes are commonly used? Proportions?

Commit to this, and you will be able to replicate any art style. Put in the work. I believe in you, anon.

>Ralseis in different artstyles.png
To me it all looks like the same artstyle, all they did was change up character proportions and and some character design elements. If you showed me any random combination of these i'd probably be able to guess they were all from the same artist. I dunno if its just me but I always considered "artstyles" to be less of a thing somebody consciously does to set their art apart and more stuff they they accidentlally do due to the way they learnt how to draw or how their interests shaped the way they draw. I feel like the way they draw fire or cloth folds is a good example here since those are pretty much the same throughout all the drawings.
