It's a style that is insanely popular at the moment or was, as its popularity is slowly decreasing again as it seems , so there are thousands of talented artists out there who are able to present just exactly the same thing as you do, and if you want to live off your art, there will be hundreds who will do it for a cheaper price than you.

To be taken seriously as an artist, and to get something that makes you stick out from the crowd and catch the eye of a client, it would be best if you'd work on developing a style of your own.

There are many illustrators out there, but what makes the good ones known and successful is that somewhere on the way they have found their own, individual style. I don't stay you should stop drawing in a manga style if that's what you enjoy, but with so many others doing just the same, the chance of making money off it is very slim.

You know , your answer to be honest is the best. I kinda get your point of say , if you have your own style then people will notice it and fill in love with but! So what thing i have to take consideration on? It's really hard to tell you anything of use here, because I can't speak for all clients in the world.

I can not tell which style will be wanted and popular in three or ten years. Also your current style is still "you" and beautiful, and there are manga artists that are successful and get paid for their work.

Also if you adopt a more uncommon style, it's still no guarantee that you will be able to make money with it. So the only thing you can do is see what you personally want - if manga styles are the only thing your heart is beating for, there's no sense in changing it.

You can always choose to make art that you really want, and accept the risk that it will just stay a hobby. If what you really want is a professional job in art instead, you will have to learn whatever you can in as many fields as possible, so your art will be versatile and able to meet different clients' wishes.

You can always make manga art along the way for yourself, but it can not be the only thing you can do. True tho manga is my life it changed my life 90 degree but as in style i will try do some researches in holiday and create my only style hopefully i will do it or at least improving my style and tweaking tho that im going to draw other stuff i dunno we will see. How are your salesmanship and marketing skills?

How are your business skills? Money is not a reward for being good at art, it is something you get in exchange for providing a product or service that people find useful. In order to sell something to people you have to think about the customer and their needs, and not so much about you and your ego.

Look at the job offers. Whatever someone is asking to purchase is an example of what they want. Look at the job offers on various websites. For example if 10 people want logos and 5 people want pet portraits and 20 people want drawings of their original characters and no one wants anime pinups then you need to think about offering logos or pet portraits or OC drawings.

Here's a link to the Job Offers section of DA: OMG they have this so it's like I can do what they want and they can pay me whatever is the cost amazing Of course it's what people want. What do you buy? Why do you buy it? What do you think is cool? Why do you want to have it on your wall or on your bookshelf on or on a t-shirt? You friends are people too. What do they buy? Why do they like it? I don't see why not. Anyone can make money when they improve enough. Although if you really want people to pay for your art, you'll need to make sure it's something unique.

People won't just pay for a standard anime styled thing that they could find anywhere else. It has to really stand out. But you're getting there.

It's something that will come with practice.

Eventually you'll find a more unique style that you like. Try looking through different artists that you admire, and maybe find specific elements of their style that you like, and try combining them? The style is not all. You decide what you show and how you show it The sketch is quite good, but you should show people what you can do. What can I do huh? It's kinda easy to say but, I don't really know what people want , sure it's unique but how unique!

Oh another path lead to insanity must think of this then You are the first who must like it. I'd start finishing the sketch. Click here to continue to DeviantArt Deviant Art. Hide Media Preview Submit Comment. Buy Art Buy Core Membership Shop.
