In conclusion, I started off with "how to draw like Shinkawa?" and moved on to "why does Shinkawa draw x like this?" and eventually to "how do I, as a Shinkawa-influenced artist, want to draw this?” (9)
And as a result, I am less restrained in a way, and I feel like my style is now more flexible, as I can just apply my visual way of thinking to any subject and draw it the way I want. (8)
I had to eventually admit to myself that I can’t really achieve the exact style of Yoji, because to do that I would have to think exactly like him.
Instead I need to master the concept of the style, so I could use my own intuition while drawing, instead of relying on his art (7)
Instead of surface level imitation, I started developing my own visual way of thinking, which is heavily based on how I assume Shinkawa approaches different shapes and forms
Ironically I realized that because of this I started in a way veering away from the apparent art style (6)
Due to the massive amounts of drawings I made in the style, I started gradually realizing and understanding the purpose of how Shinkawa draws things. (5)
It started with fascination and copying.
I think I tried to imitate the feel instead of understanding where it comes from.
I feel like I kept thinking that messiness is just a part of the style. (2)
