      some artists are soooooooo weird around the word "unique"
      idk they get all depressed when they have similar artstyle w/ someone else. they get all angry when someone steals theirs
      no one is going to be soooooo special and unique this time around when we all get inspired and and shit
      idk just a pet peeve. i hate that we have to be all special lil snowflakes to be known as an artist

      @Marta Wroblewska A design is different from an art style. A style is the WAY you design things, not the actual design. Plagiarism is different from using similar techniques, your example makes it seem like you're talking about stealing pre-made artwork or said artwork was just traced. If someone were to draw a dog doing some dance and someone draws with a similar artstyle and made a dog eating biscuits, it doesn't mean they copied the artwork it means they used similar techniques to create a similar vibe found in the artstyle

I can admit, I get ticked off when one of my friends uses a drawing idea I originally came up with, and passes it off as their own. Kinda hurts. Nobody has a right to say "it's MY art style! No stealing!" As long as you don't trace or try to pass the art as your own, then it's all good.

    Art styles are way overrated. Yes, you develop your own way of drawing, and yes it's a nice feeling when people recognize your art, but that isn't what is most important.

    Every artist is a thief. Every single one. Me and you. And that jerk who's mercilessly blasting people for "stealing an art style." Why? Because we see things we like in other art/styles think "ooh a shiny" and incorporate it into our style. Even if we somehow never look at another style we still just copy what we see (like birds, and the shape of trees etc.) So to that jerk who's shaming people for "stealing a style" he can go shut up.

      After thousands and thousands of years of different art forms, no one can create anything that is 100% original, everything has inspiration behind it and, so nothing is original, but that’s just how it is.

    Ironically, the majority of people (that I've encountered) who think stealing an art style is possible are mostly beginners themselves and don't know shit about styles, anatomy or realism (which is, the basis of literally everything)
    And, if going by this logic then no person would improve in art ever. Copying actually helps you improve your art a lot.

      shading exists in real life, light (and thus shadow) are what enables us to see the world around us. understanding how light falls upon certain subjects (for example: the shine of hair, the "glow" of skin, the glare of glass, etc) and subsequently, the shadow cast by that light, is how we understand shape and learn to draw things. shading isn't part of a style, it's a fundamental part of creating art with depth and form, which therefore makes it more believable.

    Someone on deviantart asked for an tutorial of my art style and I was OPEN to teach them! I didn’t care if they were replicating my art style because I knew I can’t own it. Plus it was inspired off the Powerpuff girls and Randy Cunningham. And I was so proud that someone was inspired by my art, and I wanted to help them! So I made a tutorial and a few weeks later they posted their first deviation AND IT WAS (almost) A PERFECT REPLICA OF MY ART STYLE. Like! Terrifying… well… They even showed the sketch which meant they drew it from scratch. And I don’t know if this person knew how to draw before. But I don’t give a crap, because I’m proud of them, and in the end I don’t own my art style.

    It got so out of hand that i found people whiteknighting for SlugBox and ripping into this girl because she drew a couple isolated limbs in several of her drawings that looked similar to Slug's. I believe she admitted to tracing some things of his years ago but the kicker? Ppl were calling her out for "Frankensteining". Just let that sink in, ppl were going out of their mind to line up arms and legs and clothing and folds and hair and stuff with different pictures from Slug to witchhunt this girl. I couldn't laugh harder at the hundreds of comments not only using the term "Frankensteining" but also being dead serious about the artist's supposed crime of it.

    There are so many videos about how to develop an art style yet it's very rare that anyone actually talks about what art style really is: shortcuts. Artists usually don't perfectly depict reality and instead use certain 'shortcuts' to make the viewer see something, without actually drawing it. And a certain style is simply a combination of these shortcuts. Not really worth becoming obsessed with to the point of accusing others of stealing it. At least in my opinion.

    I really agree with the points you’ve said. What I agree with the most is that you can’t replicate a style exactly unless you take well dedicated time to study their techniques and ways with how they draw it. I would also add that no one can draw exactly the same. I would compare this to handwriting. No one’s handwriting is the same no matter how close it is. If you try to replicate someone’s writing or art style, even if you study their techniques for the longest time, it still won’t be the exact same.

      Personally for me, I’m actually really upset that according to everyone in these comments, it isn’t possible to completely replicate an artist’s style. I’m currently following an artist and the second I saw their stuff I basically decided I didn’t want my own artstyle anymore - screw originality. I just want my stuff to look like they did it. Whenever anything I do looks remotely like I did it I get upset. I never used to care about art styles but their stuff just looks like how I want my stuff to look like. And I’m not doing it for profit - heck, I’m not even showing my stuff to anyone, so is it still unethical??? I really hope it isn’t…
      I’m also just getting really sad that my skills aren’t good enough to replicate their stuff anyway…

    For all of you content creators out there in general:
    "Originality."
    Should this word still even be used? Every piece of artwork, story, style, invention, whatever, everything is derivative now. Everything is inspired by everything, or bits and pieces of things are stitched together to create something that is new yet not. But good works have one thing in common: they're good, of course. It doesn't matter how heavily influenced by something else it is, it's still being created by someone that can put a spin on an unoriginal idea and make it more interesting. Of course you can borrow an art style. It doesn't matter. Just take bits and pieces from things you like, use tropes or concepts that have already been developed, and put them together. This is not copying or stealing. You can still let your preferences and quirks shine through. This mindset can be applied to everything.
    Don't be original. Don't even try. Just learn from experiences, grow, and have fun. That's all that's important.

    I feel like the only way 'stealing' an art style should be considered is if someone is using the style of one person intentionally to impersonate them or something

    So if there is a thing called “art style theft”, wouldn’t that mean in the past ppl that used the ppg style or the sonic style etc would count as stealing?
    (Btw ik some would still use these styles today but back then, lots of ppl would use the sonic style, including me .-.).

    I agree fully with this video.
    I do not care about that my art is in a specific style. Instead I care that it looks good.
    And when i Do need a consistent art style, it's for a single project instead of All My Art,
    with every project having a different artstyle that's tailored to just that one project.

    I totally agree
    I asked my friend if I could draw with her art style because mine was really bad and she didn't care because she was going to change it anyway
    Now, my art style is that one that I got from her, and she has her one
    My other friend asked me if she could use my art style and I said she could because she was starting making animations and this art is really easy to draw
    My only problem was if she literally copied mine so I changed the eyes and legs and she has my old one

    My art-style has a lot of anime elements. Despite that, it's pretty unique. Some anime elements include how I draw the face and how I draw the hair. Other elements of my art-style are more cartoon than anime. Some examples of cartoon elements in my style include the blocky feet and the mitten hands.

    I see 'dont get heavily inspired by my art style' a lot for younger artists. some of these artists are great artists, but their style in the first place looks similar to so many other artists. And I think people forget that styles are based off of what people see irl, in other people's art, and more.
