started reading this manga called Blue Period and gosh, the main struggling to develop his art is relatable. my heart& #39;s pounding so hard from reading it!!!! there& #39;s only 19 chapter so far but I& #39;m HOOKED
Was planning on sleeping earlier today but I got too invested in reading manga... suddenly it& #39;s 1am????
Anyways this manga really got me thinking about what kinda art I wanna get into... even though I don& #39;t really draw seriously... but there are some things that I particularly enjoy.
The thing I admire most about artists (especially manga!!!!!) is how they can express emotion and depth in b&w, or with monochromatic palettes. I find those styles extremely engaging and eye-catching!
This is also the primary reason why I love love love P5 so much!!!! I like the simple contrast between red, black, and white – but the menus and art are done in such a unique and fun manner that I sometimes just look at a scene and am in awe
Trying to think of other specific scenes I really enjoy... Tokyo Ghoul comes to mind for some reason. I liked how Ishida Sui& #39;s style conveyed the bloody, edgy mood of the series. Particularly how they used many strengths of black lines overall (which makes their art v distinctive
I don& #39;t know proper art terms so I& #39;m just going off with my own language here
I also enjoyed Naruto& #39;s art lol – very clean-looking, but still quite nuanced (?)

HxH is its own brand of unique, and it suits the series very well. It& #39;s realistic but quirky enough that it resonates with the fantasy setting.
Just.... aaaaaah I love b&w art so much. There& #39;s so much depth, and I like how my brain can colour in the scenes while I read to make it feel more real
Another mention for Noragami because I find the curves and clarity (?) of the characters very very beautiful

I like the way Adachi Toka draws Yato& #39;s eyes and mouth LOL
Thinking about the details in the Gothic/lolita style clothing in Kuroshitsuji as well, those things look hard af to line
Well I can& #39;t really think of a specific panel/manga atm, but this thread is just my two cents

Everyone likes different things, and art is extremely EXTREMELY subjective
I just fucking love observing the lines, curves, and effects in manga (which is why I read more than I watch anime)

Case in point: Tokyo Ghoul& #39;s anime just isn& #39;t as punchy or impactful as the manga panels. No shade to the studio, it& #39;s just that the delivery was different.
