Thank you!!!! Here’s a bedtime story: 

Firstly, I only love to draw. But I know I’d be good if I practice.So all I did then was draw and practice and in those days, I tried the different types of drawing styles (like from anime to portraits to semi realistic to cartoons and so on) it didn’t matter to me then if I had a certain style so long as I improve my drawing skills. After a while, I finally start to wonder ;;;;w;;;;; it was hard as well bc, you see so many great artists around with unique styles of their own and they draw a lot, it’s super inspiring! and then I’m like, I can draw but is it appealing??? What do I draw even?????Then my art block year stage came, I didn’t draw for fun for a while TTW TT In a while, I got exposed to the internet–err fine well—tumblr and apparently got into fandoms and shows and see so many lovely artists draw the characters awesomely, I got a new motivation! No matter what, I need to draw my precious children!!! I started drawing the type of style that I think would make the character I draw look appealing, for my eyes only. I realize I draw realistically but anime-ish but with the cartoony expressions, it didn’t matter tho! The character looks good and my proportions are right. Again, to myself only.  

Ever since my art started getting notes and ppl comment of what it looks like, I didn’t know it was actually a style. And it became a habit of mine to just draw cuz I’m super motivated, now I draw a lot. Eventually, drawing that a lot did the style development thing ‘ v  ‘  

Not saying that you need a fandom to develop a style ok ‘ v  ‘ I used my practiced stuff and just drew a lot, your eyes will do the styling haha
