Nah, not at all. I also didn't mean to imply that anything not anime-style is horrible in my last post. I think there are plenty of people/artists that find their own, non-anime style that's really cute/good/works in their own unique way. Sorry if I came off salty lol.
>it's just sad to sometimes see it treated like it's a childish style
I think that's why a lot of people past their twenties are trying to move away from anime because they associate it with their weeb, younger past. But nah man, sure some people can see it and associate with Naruto and be like "that's so immature/weebish" and yeah Naruto is overrated and stupid but the art's pretty well-balanced and nice. If you're working towards an "anime" style aesthetic, I say fucking go for it and good on you for trying. It's not easy, especially with pressure from others you may be facing on how it's "childish" but some people can't separate the talent it takes to achieve the anime style from the retarded fandoms and stereotypes that stem from the "anime culture." So pretty much what I'm trying to say is if you like and wanna keep getting better at it, more power to ya mate.

Ayy, I know what you mean. And it's not to say Western artists don't produce good stuff, it's just that I personally prefer Asian/Eastern styles more. Pic related, it's Chinese and sure the faces/anatomy can be a bit wonky sometimes, but the artists' humor is 10/10.

Again, sorry for the essay lol.
