To clear out, its not a rant, or that i got offended, its not even a discussions, its a point of view i wanted to share months and months ago. To launch the music theme.


Cartoon vs realism style



:iconleseanthomas: started this topic a couple of days ago, and i tough it was awesome, so go and check it out.


For me it cant be a vs between them, its like both are fruits, one its orange, the other one are apples, both are fruits, but they have different tastes. So taste will change by the eater tastes.


Its common that kids or new comers want to judge all styles by same 8 head rule, after all, in many art schools, they teach that, that manga sucks, and everything that isnt on a museum sucks. And there is a reason for that, now that in older i can understand it. They do it, to make the student to focus on realism, because realism are the bases of cartoonist, are the bones of core style.


But there is some people that cant see this yet, because they are young, or in most cases, they are Jackasses.



I know this because im used to be one, until one day a friend told me, that i cant measure others people work with manga too, that some people may hate my drawings, because cartoon or stylized cant be as universal as realism.


Some people will be surprised to see a sergio aragones realistic drawing,even if his style its cartoony, same lesean or cheekz.


Ive even draw realistic sometimes, but in sketches you wont see, because having an style its not an excuse to forget the core structure, realism. Because you need to remember why and how to stylize.


So its common to get comments from beginners, or people that dont realize this, like eyes cant be that big, nose to damn small, forehead big. Sometimes very arrogant comments, saying like you are dumb, for not knowing.



OHHHHHHHHHHHH YES, WE KNOW KID.

No excuse for twisted arms broken fingers or ackward positions, but thats cool about drawings, its a process and we are learning.


My drawings can look with no consistence, always changing, its because i havent found my style yet, i know even at this old age, but i can tell you 100% that i wont search realism, because i found it really, really, really boring.


Even my themes are fantasy.


Ive enjoy others people styles, and its easy to tell if they know realism, you wont find me saying to them, legs are too long, as an example, because if they draw long legs its because they love it that way, and thats something i respect.



If my style were music, it will rebbecca black friday, something viral that with time  will be forgotten, but the people that wont hate it will love it, so im playing for them, because if there is a single person on this stage that wants to hear me, i will play for him, and we will dance.


Its that what we all want, a dance communion.


Soooo, the big question im interested in been replied.




IF YOU DRAWINGS WERE A SONG, WHAT SONG IT WILL BE?
