What art styles were you heavily influenced by in your early art days?

Definitely a bunch of other artists on yt, i miss those days where i would watch tutorials and speedpaints and learn thru them
I still remember learning to draw my first wolf and realistic eye 🥺

Im gonna get back on that again cuz that was so nice and very helpful (i ended up crossing the "u must never reference anything" line that im now getting out of), plus i was connecting with artists, albeit ghostly (as in i did not speak 😭)

Other things that influenced... ik Sly Cooper the game influenced both back then and now
Maybe 1 anime? (I dont watch much and it was a brief moment, i remember drawing a character from it just one time and thats it ouo; )
Cant rlly think of anything else

Yea mostly other artists

OH SHIT SONIC, HOW COULD I FORGET, THAT WAS LIKE, A WHOLE ERA 😭
Legends themselves, the creator of Vagabond (Takehiko Inoue), and the old styled concept arts for Final Fantasy (Yoshitaka Amano)
When I was younger I was OBSESSED with the art style of someone called Love2DrawManga (Learn2DrawManga at the time) and would watch her tutorials religiously ROFLMAO she gave me enough inspiration to get into learning how to draw!!
Hmm... I was really in to old manga art and anime. When I was a kid, I wanted to have the same art style as the artist of Tokyo mew mew
And to be able to draw pretty outfits from sailor moon.
But now I'm just going with the flow. And I have no clue what to call my art style, know 🙃
Besides just surviving, lol
When I was like 13 I was definitely drawing with inspiration from studio ghibli, a french comic called « les légendaires » and whatever abi umeda’s artstyle is (the author of my favorite manga :children of the whales)

For yours I’d guess something a bit disney ? Or another animation studio idk but it’s all in the expressions of your characters ,especially the eyebrows
i forgot what art style i used to draw back then but, for my early days in animation. Mine was Simi and Chapchap lol!

also i dont know what to guess your art style from, im sorry! 😭
I’ve been particularly inspired by LavenderTowne, Kasey Golden and BunnyKnickers. Little aspects of their styles have fused a little into mine over the years ^^

Waaaay back when though before I had anything resembling this art style I used to draw anime (badly) pfft.
