this is for those who know they don't draw anime but people accuse them of it for various reasons, be it "your style has big eyes, it MUST be anime!" or "your style isn't realism, abstract, or something extremely definable, so it must be anime!" really, it's sickening. > < ;
there miiight be another stamp that said this out there, but i couldn't find it. sorry this sucks, it's like my third stamp okay? xD this computer has really dumb typefaces/fonts/whatever, :/
i know the bg isn't transparent, all i have is paint and sai, and sai can't do text, so i used paint. sorry.

i like to believe i draw cartoon style, but some say it's anime/manga.
i know there might be some SMALL similarities, but i don't draw manga. maybe my eyes are big, but they're just ovals, that's it. they're certainly not THIS , or THIS . they're just ovals, like in cartoons.
and my characters have big ol' noses! maybe a few of mine have smaller noses, but they're children/preteens, so i do that to show they're younger. excuse me for letting my ugly characters at least be pretty when they're kids. XD
plus the whole NOODLE ARMS/NOODLE BODIES. what anime has noodle style? .. none? okay then. there are plenty of cartoons that have noodle style, but one i know everyone knows [whether they like the show or not] is Adventure Time. XD not an anime.

so yeah sorry about the irrelevant rant there, but..
TL;DR, you don't draw anime and you know you don't, and you want people to know. so fav and use this stamp, if you wish XD thank you.

no i'm not hating on people i know that draw anime. it's fine if that's what you want. but there are some who also get sick of others thinking they draw anime when they don't XD nobody be offended please.

EDIT: changed font. it's not as neatly centered as before, but at least it's a little better. it's not the best font ever either, but as long as it's legibleeee;;; okay?

I've drawn in anime style for most of my life, and only back in 2017 or so I started trying to change my style. Not to something like realism, but something more cartoonish and even disney-ish (I still have troubles describing it x.x). I think my art still has some anime influence, and I'm trying my best to improve.

It's often discouraging when people add my drawings (that aren't anime fanart) to their "anime" collection and call it anime without explaining why or helping me improve. :/Β

I happen to draw anime/manga, but, I can see how annoying it would be if you DON'T and are told that you DO. Many styles can be seen as similar (like Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend Of Korra) but, I think that it's also important to be confident in your own art style. I'd give anything to be able to draw in the Disney-style, but, I've become too comfortable with anime/manga...it's sad...

Uhmmmm....

I also compose music, all my tracks incorporate electric guitars with this "jun-jun-jun" sound of palm muting, even if it is a kids song, drums are also acoustic. We all know this is all the part of the rock music - but I once stated that it's not rock at all because rock music should always have aggressive lyrics with protest philosophy, the performers should wear only black bandanas etc with skulls, spikes, claws and fangs, they should sing in screaming or growling voice - but anyways I think it's about metal, not rock.

Wow, I can somewhat relate! To be honest, I was inspired by cartoons to start drawing, so I have to thank cartoons for making me start drawing. Right now I am trying to change up my art style as well and try make it not look like a typical anime style. :3


I saw your gallery and it looks like a cartoon style, I don't see why people say they are like an anime style.Β 

Though as I saw your gallery......I watched you SO FAST MAN. That's how good your work is! XD

People always claim that I draw anime or manga. Personally, I'm getting tired of people telling me how I should study different manga comics to get anime right, when I'm not actually trying for that type of cartoon. Anime is definitely NOT my style.

sadielizyy [2013-03-26 19:28:45 +0000 UTC]

the thing is that anime took influence originally from western cartoons so of course there are similarities. on that same note there are also styles among styles of anime so comparing your art to one anime style saying they are not similar will not change the fact that they western/eastern animation will look similar no matter what you do. personally i am of the belief that everyone has their own individual style no matter where the influence is from.

I don't get how it's anime looking at all.

Besides, "Anime" is a genre of cartoons, NOT a style! XD

A genre has different styles tat correspond to a comic/television series, but a genre isn't a style!

Rutower [2012-12-11 12:07:14 +0000 UTC]

Anime and manga aren't creative if you want to be a real artist, give up copying other people's work and develop your own style and subject. It's ok to copy if your still in elementary school, after that, you should original.

well, the fact that you use a japanese style name here, and the fact that your noses almost all have the same upward sloping shape that anime noses tend to, and the fact that your cartoons have huge eyes, like anime tends to, might make people think that you are TRYING to draw anime, but that you just do it badly.

Just a thought.

xXxMiZuMiXmIkOxXx In reply to AndThisIsForMe [2012-03-26 20:38:54 +0000 UTC]

actually,
[link]
most all of the noses look different, with a few being similar due to certain things like genetics and such. [the last person doesn't have a nose, but it's because she's not human, not my style]

and just because something has huge eyes doesn't mean it's anime. my eyes are ovals, and simple, where as anime tends to do lots of detail, and have the top and bottom disconnected.
PLUS, not ALL anime have huge eyes. sure a lot of them do, but certainly not all of them, and it's unfair for you to say that they all do.

and hey! i know my art sucks, but i'm not trying for anime. i can draw up an anime drawing for you if you'd wish, and go in detail about how both my normal style and a fake anime one would be different. infact, i think i will, haha.

thanks for the comment, though. : )
