5. WORD ♥

13. This secret made my day~ Is that Kanazuki no Miko I see?

But I'm totally off-topic. One thing I hate, hate, hate about anime styles is the lack of distinguishing facial features, which makes every character look pretty much the same. It goes for both males and females (though girls might be getting the short end of the stick; guys can have facial hair and are allowed more lines on the face, and anime males seem to have more body type variety).

I draw in a style based off it, and lately it's been getting on my nerves that it all looks so similar. I'd like to draw like Makani (http://makani.deviantart.com/) does. xP More variety in the faces.

15. Traditional media can be beautiful. Really, I respect traditional artists more because you people can't use layers or Undo or Liquify. The problem I see a lot is that the scans aren't good or the image quality is shitty, so it just makes the picture itself suck (even if it was stunning in real life) and people are turned off. =( If you're not using a photo editor of some sort to fix up your drawings before you post them, this could be the reason.

19. You missed the boat by about a week, dear.

Maybe I've been into anime / manga for far too long (shoot me, please), but ... I'm not seeing the lack of distinctiveness in the faces, really, except for the more recent, computer-drawn stuff. o_O I like to think it was less of a problem when it was all hand-drawn, but I might just be nuts.
