I understand when people say that realism takes more skill than a style-heavy sort of art. But when the people who draw Marvel-style start bashing anime, I just die of confusion.

Really, I love anime as a style. I think a lot of learning artists should be encouraged to branch out, and try styles other than anime. I think anime, like any cartoony or heavily stylized style has a tendency to get newer artists stuck in anatomy ruts.

But I'm tired of the stereotype too. I love drawing anime, and although I love drawing other styles too, I don't think it should make me less of an artist if I only drew anime. (As opposed to people who only draw in one other style)
