Hmm.

I know how much you like the paper style. But maybe it’s time to start evolving it?

I recently found a new drawing method that blends the editable rigs of the paper style, but with paint-like effects. I’ve been using it for Diaries, and I love using it.

So I was thinking of applying it to PC. Yes, I know that the final decision is up to me, but I want to know your opinion.

Any thoughts?

  22. arbitraryaxolotle answered: Humans don’t like change. I don’t follow Diaries, admittedly, so I’m not sure what that style is like.
  23. ponycycle answered: Maybe you should test it out and see what the reaction is

  27. moonstruck2 answered: give it a shot, if it takes too long or dose not look good than scrap it. what ever it takes for you to keep interest in the project.
  28. askcloudsdalefillies answered: ((Sounds good. Any sort of art shift is fine in my books, so long as you yourself enjoy doing it. Go for it!))
  29. buzzbya answered: draw however you want, whatever makes it easiest and fun for you
  30. drow-chan answered: That’s kinda difficult to answer. AN artist should not stagnate, but on the other hand I prefer PC’s current style to Diaries…
