Art StyleStyle is your individual approach to art. This includes the elements you chooseto express or emphasize in your work, such as your drawing and coloringtechniques, the level of detail and even character proportions.If you’re just starting out, you may not have your own defined style yet.That’s okay! Your style will develop naturally. As you practice drawing anthrocharacters, you’ll discover the approach that works best for you.Let’s look at some common stylistic approaches to drawing anthro characters.Although each example uses a rabbit as the subject matter, notice how the resultsvary widely based on the approach.Get to Know Your Subject Matter
Regardless of whether your art style is cartoony or realistic, it’s always a good idea to start by looking atphotos and videos of the animal you’re anthropomorphizing. Practice sketching the animal to familiarizeyourself with its physical traits. From there, how closely you stick to the animal’s appearance depends onyou. The more realistic your art style, the more careful you’ll need to be about accuracy in the details.Cute and RoundThis little guy is drawn soft and round, with minimal details. His large head and big eyes give him baby-likeproportions for instant “awww” appeal. He gets an extra boost of bunny cuteness from his enlarged rabbitfeatures (feet, ears and tail).
