My art style.. I think it was a mix of both. I definitely did a lot of things on accident but a lot of those were the result of early days where I tried to draw like mangaka I liked (especially because there are so many manga/anime panels you can look at).

In 2020 I started to make a conscious effort what I wanted to achieve (I bugged my friend Guts a lot for painting tips), but well, still other things have just happened.  Like, I don't know when I started drawing such prominent noses lol. I noticed that recently and it really confused me because I used to keep them tiny. And some shading choices I've noticed have just appeared over time. Painting in particular is weird cause I don't pay much attention to my sketches. Instincts tend to take over so things change as as vibes change.. Flexibiliity.

Oh and hair. I just had to figure that out. Lots of people who paint curly hair nowadays but you know, was hard to find in early 2010s.
