I feel like the more I draw, the less people likes it.
My friend just told me that my 14-year old drawing looks better than the current ones. This makes me concern about what I'm working on and persuade me to come up with this topic.
Firstly, someone suggest me to major-improve my art because I lack the basics , such as anatomy, color choosing, and shading. I decided to give an intense practice on it.
This is the old style art before the practice
After 2-3 months of daily practice. I've made a noticeable change of my style. At first I must say I like it, I really do. At least I drew faster than before.
Edit: I had no idea I marked the wrong date at the last two pictures.
But when I showed it to my friends I received worse feedback about it. Most of them disapprove my new style. I also ask them why , mostly , they say
- It's not pretty nor cute. It's weird.
- It's doesn't look anime-ish. (Not sure if this is the essential factor , because I live in the country that has a major anime influence. Anime and anime drawings (and chibis) as well are very popular here. However there are several popular non-aniime artists here also.)
- They don't know why, but the old style is better.
I don't know what to do next sad , even if I like the new style but most people I asked don't. Should I continue working on this style, searching for a new style , or go back to the same one ? Also, is there something I could do to improve my art ? If you have an opinion on my style and/or critiques please tell me!
