I see so many people aping Yoh these days. Hard to blame them, though.

You should study anime, but you should study life too. Mindlessly copying anime girls won't get you very far, you need to understand what the stylized faces are supposed to represent, and you can only do that by studying reality. The greats like Yoh Yoshinari draw plenty of realistic studies in addition to anime art.

You say that like I'm against it, I'm not. But artist suffer if they never do any life drawing with real humans. Drawing from anime and drawing from real life will absolutely make you a better, well rounded anime artist.

The variance between an anime character and real life just isn't that extreme. Even cartoonist that deal with simplified shapes have done life drawing. Animators from both side of the globe have a long history of drawing from life. Studying humans will help you in drawing humanoids. How would it ever impair you in drawing anime?

>I’m not sure if I want to go for a realistic or cartoony style.
Who says you have to choose between one or the other? Many artists, like Yoh Yoshinari are able to do both. Plus, learning cartooning and realism are complementary in many ways. Realism helps give you a solid background to make your cartoons more convincing, and cartoons give you a sense of exaggeration and aesthetics that can help push your realism to be more lively.
If you like both, then you should try practicing both.

That's retarded, studying realism and your fundies will only make you better artists.

Pic related, Yoshinari.

Of course you should always practice stylization, if that's your goal, too many artist here just do Loomis head and then complain that they can't draw qt lolis. But there are artists out there that draw anime figures with no sense of form or any understanding of the human body.

You need a healthy balance. Both skills are needed to draw anime competently.

Or, are you talking about when those tumblr tier anime artists try to do that weird mix mash "anime realism" style?

Post studies by animators/cartoonists or other artists with a cartoony/anime-ish style.
