So I've Been Seeing The Same Style Lately- by Geekie


I've been seeing a lot of people using the exact same styles lately. Especially one from an old (And deleted, I think) user named Sourskittz, I believe?
Some people will try to act exactly the same as the person who originally had the style sometimes as well.

I don't really enjoy seeing people pretend to be someone else, and using their style so they can get follows and attention.
Seriously, stop. You don't have to be like someone else to get follows. Be yourself, (Continued in comments)

and at least try to find your own style.

I get it if you just did it a few times for fun. I understand that perfectly. But it goes too far when you act exactly like the other person online and use their style in every drawing.

I know, sometimes it's hard finding a style, and sometimes you accidently make it a style similar to someone else's. I learned from experience, heh.

But in all seriousness, it's better for people to like you for you, and not your fake personality and copied art style.

This isn't directed to anyone in particular, because a lot of people do this. So if you think it's directed to you, it most likely wasn't.

Also
Here's a tip

Just because someone's style is similar to yours in any way, doesn't mean that they were TRYING to copy you. Ok? c:

To be honest
You shouldn't be scared
If someone has a similar style to yours
Then hey
Who cares

But it's another thing to TRY to copy that person on purpose

Now that I think about it, in the begining I really tried to have an Invader Zim style, but then it turned into...whatever I have now :3

Im not saying you should be suspicious or nervous

Wait
lemme try to sum it up how I meant it:

Good: Being yourself and trying to make your own special style. If it's a bit similar to someone else's in any way, it shouldn't matter too much. You most likely didn't know and you don't have to change your style so much if you don't want to.

Bad: Acting and drawing like a different user for love and follows.

My style's a mix of //ALOT// of different small things I like about some artist's styles, that's not really trying to copy anyone, right..?? Isn't that sortof what everyone does?

Not really expirimenting because I keep the things though
I usually think it's fine because I don't take signature things/copy them more than like one thing like ehh

i don't really know though hah
