I am trying to decide on the art style of my graphic novel. I've been watching shows likes Fooly Cooly and Black Butler to help me decide. I grew up trying to draw things realistically. Primarily I've drawn buildings and landscapes, so I'm having a hard time trying to draw my characters. Anyone else having this same problem? My influences for the story are: Kaori Yuki's "Angel Sanctuary", Yana Toboso's "Black Butler" (Kuroshitsuji), Tim Burton, Matusri Hino, and the soundtrack to xxxHolic. I enjoy all of these things, but their style is much different than how I usually draw. Is anyone else working with an artisit?
On a different note, I'm hoping to make it to Izumicon again this year. I am a huge anime/manga fan. My room is covered in wall scrolls and fan drawings. I can draw manga and manhwa character styles. I'm just not sure if they're appropraite for my story. I might try several different style sketches for each character and elt the other students help me decide when I give my presentation next week.
When I draw I actually use pencils, ink and paper. I'm not sure how it will look compared to modern works that are now done digitally.
I guess I have several small questions and I just need to try all options before deciding.
Wish me luck!
