Least Favorite Art Style(s)

[Mayor Monday]

What is- in your personal opinion- an art style you particularly dislike and why?

 

[maple22]

I hate the style used in some modern cartoons like Steven Universe.
I also dislike some styles of character art (it?s almost always fan art) that I see on Twitter and tumblr. The predominant one I?ve noticed is where characters are usually drawn with red, pointy noses, and the overall drawing looks extremely basic, like someone with very little skill drew it.

i think my least favourite is cubism art:

Spoiler: which looks like this

it’s not awful or anything but it’s not really my style. i did see a painting of winnie the pooh in cubism style and that was actually pretty cute, though.

I don't know that I have a least favorite to be honest. I'm so horrible at art that literally any style looks good to me because it's better than anything I could hope to do.

Pop Art (ie. Andy Warhol) and abstract.
If I have to do one more project on the same portrait four times in different colors or one more piece with nothing but random squiggles, I will eat my eraser. It's not what I consider art, not when it feels so lazy and yet so tedious at the same time. It doesn't make me go "Ohhhh, so pretty! "; it makes me go "Okay...a third grader could've done this. Are we just stealing our younger sibling's art projects for profit now?"

People go "Art is about what it makes you feel."
Yeah, well, I feel like you didn't give a crap and didn't bother putting any effort into it. I feel like you want the money more than you want to make art. I feel like that attitude is what's hurting art, so there.

(Don't mind me, I'm just very touchy about what I consider art)

I don't think i have one,,, at least not yet

 

[SmoochsPLH]

Anything Seth McFarlane esque, realism, the kind that rich folk go and look at saying it's deep when it's just like an everyday object on the floor or wall (I forget the name???), and stuff I can't think of currently.

 

[Alienfish]

Stereotype shoujo manga, like Kitchen Princess, Vampire Knight and those kind of things.

Yes this also. And this pig/kid art when someone make a baby or animal "paint" and sells it very expensive like ok

Whatever art style real life is. Destroy it all!

Imma have to say modern cartoons'. We all know of the technical difficulties of having to draw a single character millions of times to make a show, but eeeeeeh that doesn't excuse everything. Watching Steven Universe is particularly infuriating to me now because you look at the background art, and it's these gorgeous ethereal skies and shiny pretty city lights drawn in straight lines and color gradients, and then you look at the characters and they look like something I would have drawn when I was 12.

There isn't a particular art style I hate. Every form has its place and can be of inspiration or give off a different energy that other styles just can't pull off. And my god, there is so many different kinds of art. More than I know the names of. Though I do agree, the steven universe-esque cartoon style is extremely overdone and shallow.

 

[bellpickle]

Photorealism, because what's the point

Agreed.

Having a style is no excuse for lazy animating/design and inconsistency.

 

[tifachu]

I haven't really found one that I hate

Except uhh NSFW Animal Crossing art
-- not exactly a style but.... ya know.

 

[sleepydreepy]

I use to hate all abstract art because I didn't understand it or the point of it. Now I'm learning to appreciate it, and not just look at it from a "logical" perspective but instead think about the emotion behind it. I still don't really care for it tho, and prefer paintings/art where there is a clear subject or theme. I also really like color, and don't like artwork that is just greyscale.

 

[Corrie]

South Park and Beavus and Butthead style creeped me out when I was a kid and still does to this day.

Adventure Time/Steven Universe style is meh too.

I did not like those hyperrealistic shots in Spongebob Squarepants. Sometimes, the great amount of detail either disgusts me or scares me. I'm not going to mention what I saw...

oh those were my favorite parts lol. i think they are ment to shock, really. they're probably there because a lot of the guys who worked on ren and stimpy (remember that? wild times) went on to work on spongebob. that was probs their heritage lol
