>>79813I would love too, ive been drawing most of my life. I work traditionally and 3D CGI.
A circle isnt inherently bad, its the execution and overall consistency. Any good artist wont use a circle tool, they will freehand the circle. And they wont use a circle for every single piece. Usually for aesthetic, or for a commission request. I know Molaveda did a cute one of a Vaporeon of something as a circle, taking up a quarter of the frame. Using the rule of thirds to make it visually appealing, and their great rendering to not make it look bland. And more importantly, this circle art is only a tiny portion of most of the art Mola makes. An artist who works soley in these circles are boring. Like Nuumatic, the other guy was talking about.
Nuumatic has good rendering, but a basic sense of anatomy, and doesnt explore any concepts at all. Every single image is the same pose, formula, and shape. EdgeofMind does something similar. They both are good artists, but they are bad inflation artists. Theres no variety or sense of artistry, they just draw round characters and call it a day.
The same three angles is something more common with less skilled artists. Ones with middling skill who maybe cel shade their artwork. They draw 3/4 profile, 3/4 behind, and sometimes inflated laying on their bellies. And their entire gallery contains those same exact poses regardless of character, situation, or time they have spent drawing art. I cant remember any off the top of my head, but its really common and you can notice it in some artists.
I would recommend art studies to help yourself improve. Either take an artist, or concept, find as many examples of it that you like, and replicate them, understand what makes them so good. I would personally recommend Molaveda, Sushfishious, and DeviantSeiga as great examples of inflation artists with great rendering, anatomy, and artistic expression.
Do keep in mind you should value art style and personal expression over your examples. Its easy to just learn how to draw in other peoples artstyles and neglect your own.
