Do you like your art style? ELABORATE. What do you think is good, what could be improved, what do you hate, etc etc

Honestly I’m learning to be comfortable where I’m at. I’m quite happy with it even though I have areas to improve on lol. I really like how much pink I have in mine and the softness I’ve finally managed to achieve without it looking too soft for my tastes (before my art looked kind of flat? Where I think it looks much better now, not that flat art is bad, just that it wasn’t what I was aiming for lol)

I still need to improve on backgrounds and lighting, and I’m willing to improve other aspects but I’m just kinda letting the art wind guide me I guess haha
Depends on the media, since I’m mainly traditional but rarely digital (?)

But I personally like my art style, yes it has some strange artistic decisions: like making the hair too puffy/big (my sister said they look like wigs 😂) or drawing extra neck lines.

What I hate the most is the way I draw hands (they look like claws for no reason) and the poses look stiff sometimes, as everyone I need to practice anatomy and composition.
I think that my art style is decent, albeit rigid, but it actually doesn't reflect my personal interests at all. I am most interested in the depictions of real human life-- think vivian maier's street photography, drawings of reclining middle-aged sunbathers sprawling on the beach, things like that. I'm really not interested in beautiful young manhua people like the subjects of my drawings at all. I don't know why I keep doing it.
I really like my current style. It gives me this incomplete but also kinda complete feeling. It feels like painting with ink. I love to look at my artworks and tell the process just by looks. Like which line was draw in what direction and how fast I drew the lines.
I mainly have to improve on anatomy and different body types and how I can make them fit my style. I should practice shading as well, but I don't really feel like doing it yet.
Yes. I love my style. What I need to improve-> everything, especailly color.
I like my style, I have made many improvements recently. But there are so many more to do... The main one I am focusing on is getting the volumes right and the junctions between volumes too. I'd like my subjects to look more solid, I have been working on volumes and I have already seen some improvements, but I still have to practice a bit more to get it right
Mine is alright. I don’t feel like my art style is my dream art style, but it isn’t half bad. It’s very cartoony and I’ve heard people think it’s very recognizable (square heads probably). I do wish mine was more like those in between styles of anime and cartoon, since they just look so NICE. Or just one of those super cartoony and cute styles.
I really like my style! I like the colors I use, the expressions, the way I draw hair, etc. I just really need to work on my anatomy/sameface issues and learn how to draw backgrounds.
Jup~
I like mine ^w^
It became really nice and comfy wich I adore. Plus I can actually do the background stuff w
The only drawback is that I just can’t do gory violent stuff … probably if I really threw myself into that but … nah, I think I prefer the comfy stuff
I think my art style has really improved recently! I love the texture and the general vibe my drawings give off. I do feel like I still have a lot of work tbh and right now my skills aren’t very flexible, I struggle with drawing different poses, and I feel like I don’t practice drawing different types of people as much as I should :/
It's good but I can still strive for better (:

I like my general style of line work a lot, but I want to expand more on what I can do for shading. I love the shading in Zaffino's works and I want to experiment with that once I start on bigger illustrations (I got ideas upon ideas in the backlog)

I'm still testing out my new way of coloring, I really should start on my Patrick Joust Studies cause that's the mood I want in my own works (:
In hindsight, not digging it that well.

I’ve been sorta unsure what direction I want to take it, considering how I wanted to mesh anime and western comic styled together like 10 years ago.

I like that it’s got some semblance of what I want to put into it (edgy, energetic and manga-esque), but I feel it’s not looking strong enough. And I hate that I can’t figure out how to make it evolve past this plateau.

At least right now I think my color theory is improving after learning about perceived color lol. I’m content with the fundamentals, but I do see some micro-improvements here and there ever since I started working on a webcomic.
For the most part I like it but it took me a while to get here and there are a lot of things I want to improve on. I used to really struggle with rendering/lighting and colours so I’m proud of the improvement I’ve made when it comes to that. I want to improve on drawing perspective and architecture/buildings, two things that I often have trouble with.
I like how I render and also finally like how I draw faces. My colouring still needs work but I'm trying to improve that.
I really like how I draw lineart. Its just yes 🤌
I really like to draw buff characters but I also need to work on anatomy but working on anatomy is a forever thing.
I like my sketching style. I love how I use crosshatching for shadows. It makes the drawing look detailed.

Trying to elaborate on why I like my art is very difficult 😅😅
I just really like my art style lol
