Is this sent from your iphone?

Well there's people in those images so do anatomical studies. Guns, do some studies of those. They're wearing clothes, so do some drapery studies. Also lighting studies, thumbnails, compositions etc...

Style has little to do with the success of an image and doesn't mean anything if you don't have the technical abilities to back it up.

Jeffx99 yep

Grarl thanks, iv been practicing a lot. Iv been doing digital for about a year now but iv been drawing for about 8 years so now I'm trying to practice styles I like and incorperate them into my work. What I want to achieve is the styalized look of the drawings like the way they colored it and the brush stokes if you know what I mean.

Don't see any real stylization in the works. For color it's just simple knowledge of color theory. Number 3 is a bit stylized and looks a bit like it was done in painter or with just different brushes in photoshop for brushes. But besides that it looks pretty standard, not much deviation from the norms of anatomy, form, perspective blah blah blah.

Go to your local public art gallery and look at the things on the wall inside it.

Click on those little picture icons on the top of CA main page.

Nope, all broken atm. I don't know why myself, but the admin are aware of it.

I call the first three ugly paint over style. Get a camera and photoshop. Very uninspiring to me.

No I mean like if he dosent like the style/art there's no reason to put it down because obviously this thread wasn't ment for him.
A football player wouldn't go to a arts and crafts store if hes intersted in buying a pair of cleats would he? No he would go to a sports store because that's the store that caters to his needs.
I posted this thread bcause this art/style is what interest me

Except this is more like a football player while in a sports store telling he doesn't like one type/brand of cleats, and not... whatever your comparison was supposed to mean.

Yeah I think you completely missed my point.

[Elwell]

Whoosh.

[comicbookfreak]

Wow this isn't going anywhere >_~

[Elwell]

Slightly stylized digital realism.
Happy now?

[armando]

Photorealism with graphic design elements.

[bcarman]

Wow, try to teach a little. When my guys bring me stuff like this I make them bring me something better. Rather than defining a style, which is a bad word anyway, find a way to get good. Defining a style won't make you do it any better.

[armando]

Defining a style is helpful if it helps someone understand the historical conditions that led to it's creation. You aren't going to find out much about graphic design if you look at the work of people like Boucher or Joseph Pennell, or do anatomy studies. I also don't appreciate "Style has little to do with the success of an image and doesn't mean anything if you don't have the technical abilities to back it up.". Style is everything, that statement holds true whether you look at it from a superficial decorative standpoint or a deeper philosophical one.

Only after the fact. Style is everything? How many really successful artists do you know who start out saying I am going to be the best in this style? Many of them fit into no style until they created it.

Maybe you need to define what a style is. That would help me understand your point.

And your defending someone who said I shouldn't participate because I expressed an opinion is simply argumentative. Or am I misreading that.

The only place to see something without style is in a photo. All people work in a style from the beginning, it can happen either spontaneously or they can consciously derive a style from a hero.
The common definition of style that I've seen refers to: the way in which a person presents the facts of the appearance of nature: an artist can make their shapes look angular or curved, can use gradations or flatnesses, etc.
Philosophically style refers to the manner in which a person views reality, their "perspective": their idosyncracies in regards to what they believe, what they think is important, what they pay attention to, how they feel about whatever, all this is shaped by history - different thoughts and actions being possible in different times and places.
When people purchase art-products they are doing so because of their interest in style1 or style2, otherwise all of us would be photographers.

And your defending someone who said I shouldn't participate because I expressed an opinion is simply argumentative. Or am I misreading that.

You mean where he wrote "good thing this isn't your thread."... so it meant that you're not allowed to have an opinion in a thread, I didn't pay attention to it until you brought it up. Directly quote me on the part where I'm defending anyone. I was annoyed by the bs statement, which I directly quoted, about how we're allowed to post whatever we want.

[bcarman]

what they think is important,

And here is where we agree. We agree that everything is a or has a style. It's the chasing of a style where we disagree. I believe an authentic style can only be uncovered not copied. We may like something a lot and then we pursue it but if we don't have the experience it too often leads to copying a style an not uncovering a voice.

How many aspiring artists' work have you seen that looks an awful lot like someone else's? In fact with our interconnectivity it happens all too often. Art schools have had this problem for a long time. They used to make a student commit to a style locking them in too soon. The result was outright copying. It still happens. Mimicry can be a part of learning if we use it as a form of learning. But fundamental skills are the we should be identifying not putting a name on a style. Let the historians and critics do that.

Actually my main problem was the the examples chosen to try and identify a style. Maybe it's the teacher in me but I wanted the OP to find better examples.

About the second part, if I misread of misunderstood your post I am sorry. Happens to me all the time in written discussions.

Thanks you guys!

Ok so now I know why everyone has glass in their underpants! It wasn't ment as an insult! I was just saying hey this is the style I want to learn about, you came along saying it was basically a crap style so I was basically saying oh well because this is what I like.

I'm a teacher so I'm in the habit of teaching. When I write to teach I am short because I'm not only a horrible typist but I hate to type. That was supposed to be a teaching moment of, "OK, then find someone who does it better because even if we decide to define style we should find the best examples of that style."

If you call me on something I will respond. So now we're good and I'll stop trying to teach because it only gets me in trouble.

And I suck at explaining myself so I'm sorry if I came across as a jerk.

[Bowlin]

The definition of style is:

style/stīl/
Noun: A manner of doing something.
Verb: Design or make in a particular form.

When you know how to use the design elements and principles, you can stylize with better control.

Also, I thought this link on Realism vs. Stylization helps explain style also?
