What is stylization?



Stylization in drawing is the process of giving an illustration the features of a different style. With the help of this technique, objects or figures acquire simplified forms. Simply put, it is a modification of some (or all) of the elements in the drawing. For example, an artist draws in anime style, but when drawing, he enlarges ears of the character, paints his nose, rounds his chin, etc., which is not typical for anime characters. In this case, they say that the artist has his own style



How is the style formed?


Usually, it appears in the process of learning drawing, when artist begins to practice. He can look at the works of other artists and try to draw in their style or adopts only certain of their features. The more he studies other works, the more interesting features he adopts, and the more stylized his works become. It is not necessary to adopt someone else's style, the main thing is to get inspiration and experiment
