I do worry about my own style stagnating since my geology jobs is keeping me from finding time to experiment so I did everything mostly the same way. But then again, Charles Schulz haven't changed his style that much over 50 years.
But you do experiment and stuff! And even if you don't, you're still out there observing, and possibly being influenced without realising it. I've certainly surprised myself before with changes.
I've seen arguments, saying that in this day and age, his art style would not have been accepted. It's just that since when he started they were still experimenting with the medium, and they didn't care that much about the art. Story first.
And I think he probably delibratly kept his style that way, once he reached a certain point where he thought he'd established his 'style'.
It would be nice if they could place story above art. But now, it's all about higher-quality art and action. -_-;
You're right on being influenced without realizing it. Yep.
Most people do, but maybe not as much as they used to. There are quite a few who assume that if someone can't draw well, their story is probably terrible. Or even other things.
A good way is challanges. There are a lot of good ones floating around.
yeah, if I can see them that is. *sits on a raft, trying to spot the "Land of challenge". I remember there was a 100 picture theme challenge somewhere..
There is, but basicly what you do is choose 100 themes at random. Just single words. Like 1. goat 2. dreary 3. wednesday e.t.c.
One that I saw recently is this: [link]
Ah, I see.
I do have a bit of pride of learning to draw without tutorials.
