Are you stuck with your own artstyle from the beginning? Or do you find your own artstyle as you progressively get better? Does borrowing another artstyle make you a talentless hack?

style in my view is just a collection of old habits and quasi subconscious preferences
it shouldn't be confused with design, which is conscious and deliberate, and can change at will
I don't care much about style, I do care about design
>>
It's like your personality. No it's not set in stone. Yes it can be changed. Trying to change it is stupid and looks cringe and the best personality is the one God gives you.

what if you don't have a personality

Style is usually reflective of the author's facial features (whether subtle or exaggerated) and their tastes in art. Your artstyle will transform as you develop your skills. You can adjust it by studying certain artists, but your own individuality will always shine through.

My art style determines my death style.

I noticed my brother's face in a girl i was drawing recently and it made me question a bunch of things
>>

any great artist's style (like of an anime character designer or illustrator) is a result of conscious and deliberate design towards an aesthetic goal thobeit, nothing in it is accidental or arbitrary even if it aligns with the artist's preferences
>>
>>7996881
I have too many styles I like. So I try to draw in all of them.

Just fuck your brother already

Literally impossible.

Your art style gets calcified based on what you draw, what you study and what tools you use but its also pretty easy to draw in other art styles and in my experience its actually a lot easier to do this the more experienced you are. Animators dont really have a problem adapting their style to the show they're working on for example.

God I hope not

I think people focus on finding their artstyle a little too. I don't see the point in forcing someones artstyle on yourself. Learn the basics, learn what you like to draw and it will come naturally

*a little too much

>he thinks he can just reinvent the wheel and get to the same level of quality as the best existing artstyles that have already been refined
Go ahead if you have 10-15 years of free time to spend.
Ironically you would be more much well equipped to develop your own style if you're good at someone else's artstyle already.
