i could make a baity post thats like "does my art remind you guys of anything ~? :33" but nah im just gonna come out and say it since im drawing rn and thinking about it
i worry my art doesnt look like shoujo manga anymore, and whenever i think that i get really really sad. i used to draw in a way that made it obvious to anyone in the know that i was lowkey ripping off riyoko ikeda (and various other artists), but now i dont think my art doesnt look like any artists' style so im sad. but i shouldnt be. because i literally think my art doesnt look like i draw shoujo manga because its not super reminiscent of an existing shoujo mangaka.
does that make sense? since im not published, it cant look like published manga to me. even if i was published, i think i would still be unhappy because im me and i know i drew it, not a mangaka i respect. well, since you dear reader are probably not me, maybe you do think my art still looks like i am a shoujo enjoyer. if so, maybe let a brother know. or dont. its fine either way
