Studying other artstyles is a topic I always struggle with! I want to learn how and what they do so I can try and incorporate them to my own art but it is very difficult to know where to start when studying someone else

@@madametj U just sketch what u see. And apply some prior knowledge (if u have it. After sketching a lot, u do have a general idea of the forms). Sometimes just turn the page upside down as well as the reference and sketch wahat u see. Turn the page around to different angles to help u make it more accurate. Just keep on sketching and you'll get better over time :).

I find my most helpful master studies are often from sketches and preparatory work. Raphael’s sketches taught me brushwork more than his paintings!

Having goals and deliberate intent for each study is so important. I see too many student, even my own, go into master studies, film studies, and life painting, without really knowing what they’re trying to accomplish. It really accelerates your learning.

I mostly use references from Kim Jung Gi and Karl Kopinski. They are my idols.(I'm a little jealous of Stan because he saw them both live)

For my art, I tend to stick with video game and manga artists from the late 90s to the early 2000s. Ayami Kojima is a personal favorite of mine, along with the artists from Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, and the Ocarina of Time Era Zelda games. The art is a sense of being realistic, but is somewhat either dramatized or softened with the atmosphere being surrealistic.

Do you have a video about how to do master studies ? As you said, it's not about copying but I have no idea how to break down someone's style or understand what/why they did something

Loisvb's shape design is so nice. Definitely an artist I wanna study more. Her color choices are lovely too.

Gosh, if someone ever does a study of something I made, that's when I know I've made it.

I learned to paint from studying my favorites on Colors! for the 3DS, they had an autoplay feature for all of the paintings and I sucked up all of the techniques, applying bits here and there to my own. I massively improved in a year and it's still my favorite feature today. I kinda wish there was another social playback art gallery out there like it.

I recommend Alma Luna, her art is unforgettable

I remember seeing lineart not in the color black as a child and that alone opened a whole perspective lol

Roger Lecureux is one of my childhood idols. I grew up on his and his son's "Rahan" comic book series and always wanted to be able to draw like them

Loish has been one of my biggest inspirations since I was just a young artist in school🥰 love her sm

Im studying deiv, bo chen, and guweiz, their art, composition and story telling through art was just very amazing

Conan! ❤ I literally learned how to read with Conan the Barbarian comics, when I was 5.

I always felt like I wasn't getting Mark Bagley's artsyle in Ultimate Spider-man, I'm trying to nail the cross hatching and the body design

Great little short, I'm currently trying to study Joe Mads art but I must admit, drawing and understanding the how and why of their style is really tricky and I often find myself mindlessly copying - I'm working on it though. Is this clip from a certain proko course by the way?

It’s funny that a master’s study is considered a copy to others. It reminded me of a time where I was doing a master study of Van Gogh, my mom accused me of copying, honestly i believe a masters study is the best way to improve your style and art in general! Go for it!

Jeff watts's line quality is ridiculousy good

Karl kopinski and Chris hong are my fav artist to master study

John Buscema's (the penciller, of the two brothers...but Sal is a crazily good inker) pencils is the first style? That did seem as his Conan's wonderful rendition (he drew the best Conan).

You could study one piece by the same artist with a different focus every time. Color once, shape design another, and so on. Knowing what it is you want to study with that attempt if key to getting the most out of it.
