After reading that artist confession where an anon basically said that anime style drawings are lower quality it felt as if someone had punched me in the gut. I’m usually very calm and I don’t anger easily, but I’m am positively FUMING right now.
It’s fine if you don’t like anime style. You have every right to hate it, I’m not stopping you. But DON’T look down on people who like it! And just because it’s anime doesn’t automatically turn it into low quality crap, that is the most arrogant BS I’ve ever heard. Except from maybe that part about how an artist with a realistic style would be able to just poop out an astonishing anime style drawing while an anime style artist who would try her hand on realism would break down, probably with a big comedic sweatdrop on her forehead.
Saying that anime style is a downgrade or that anime artists are too lazy to be bothered with anatomy is like spitting people in the face – people who spends hours, weeks and years to improve their art.
Dear anon who wrote that confession, just… stop being arrogant for a second and let people draw what they want in what style they want. You may not like it, you don’t have to fav or look at it, but at least show some respect for your fellow artists. And DON’T TELL OTHER ARTISTS THAT THEIR STYLE IS LOWER QUALITY JUST BECAUSE IT’S ANIME/CARTOON OR WHATEVER.
Dear anon who thinks anime automatically equals low quality
