Yes, and yes. If youāll ask me, Iād say that thereās probably as many art styles as there are artists. No mangaka has an art style that is exactly the same as another one. And in some cases, they might even change their style a number of times in their career. Thus, speaking of a stereotypical āmangaā style as some Westerners do is actually incorrect and rather ridiculous IMHO; kind of like speaking of a āWesternā style.
Itāsā¦1009. Sorry did I read that right?
BTW, one of the most strangest things Iāve ever discovered in my life is that the cult Aum Shinrikyo (infamous for the Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway in 1995) had made its own anime - for recruitment purposes - in its heydayā¦featuring sonshi Shoko Asahara.
Itās actually as good as that march (with matching coreography) or that blatant Space Battleship Yamato rip-off that theyāve also come up with.
Though youāve got to ask: does repeating your own name count as a chorus? ShÅkÅ, ShÅkÅ, ShÅkÅ, ShÅkÅ, ShÅkÅ, Asahara ShÅkÅā¦

4kids cracked me up with One Piece, more so than Yu Gi Oh.Because as we all know, 4Kids is so allergic to anything that smacks of religion?
In one of the episodes, they edit out something that vaguely, VAGUELY, resembles a cross.
ā¦ ā¦ ā¦ Then they add in a joke about Adam and Eve. In the same scene.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

Actually, Iām a big time sucker for what is often called stereotypical āmangaā style. However, I actually prefer calling it the Moe-style cuz itās kinda more fitting. Big eyes, round-faces, small nose and mouth, and -]nice bods/-] anatomically well-drawn figuresā¦ itās cute, itās kawaii, itāsā¦ MOE!!! @w@Yes, and yes.

They did an excellent job with Pokemon, but they did cut some of the rougher stuff from YGO. I can see why, though.

I prefer to stay happily amused with them. Plus Kenshinās right, they handled Pokemon wonderfully way back when. Apart from the rice ball = donut stuff.
Which just led to confused little children thinking āWHAT THE HECK- THOSE ARENāT DONUTS!ā
Although I was a silly child, and never noticed.
But on the subject of saturday morning dubbed animeā¦

I did a little artpiece today. Unfortuantly it became ruined when I attempted to do it with colored pencil. Nevertheless tell me what you think.

Maybe Iām easy, but I like the pic, Eagleās Wings.
Gluttony! Thatās who I meant! Thank you! I must have seen the Greed character in the episodes of FMA following here CN stopped to go back to the start.

Thanks! I wish I didnāt use colored pencil though. It kinda ruined the picture.

Why, what went wrong? Colored pencil is about my favorite medium.

Well, the picture has more color to it than what you see here. My scanner didnāt pick it all up. I donāt know how to fix it so that it looks more coloful without ruining the pictures. I may have to start trying markers. If not, Iāll have to stick with digital coloring.

Naaah, keep at itācolored pencils are easier to master than markers. Stay with a light touch and follow the contours of your drawing to enhance it. Donāt try to shade over your base colorāshade separately until you have the basics down.
Good luck.

Wanna show me some of yours?

Sure.
This oneās a bit odd, as itās basically an āoutline,ā but I like the effect:
A bit more conventionally done (but still on that gridded paper I like):
There are several good books on colored pencil techniques and probably also some web info.
PS: What I like about colored pencil is that you can have loose and sketchy effects or all across the spectrum to almost oil-paint intensity. And no set-up!
