For me realism is not a challenge at all, at least what I currently have to draw in art class. :roll: All we do is draw from Real Life objects or reference off things, for the most part. Referenced realism is easier than anime for me. :D I drew a couple anime pics in my art book and got the odd 'You draw like an asian' comment from classmates, but my teachers don't seem to mind the style. I suppose College teachers just have alot more insight into different styles than a HS art teacher. ^^; And I must say drawing anime these past few years has indeed forced me to learn alot more about anatomy and helped alot with my study now!
