lmfao… it’s not that different..? it’s cos i couldn’t fundamentally change the way i draw characters, but i did go for ink pencil lines and different colors! idk if the high contrast worked tbh, it’s so hard for me 😭 😭

i think my art goals for the year is higher contrast / dark shadows for sure, playing round with textures more, and rendering muscles better. i can’t live without my sketchy lines tho i’m taking that to the grave

also gonna try to finish another thing for hkvh college au by the end of the week!

AAAAA i love both so much!! the style on the right looks like it could suit a thriller visual novel or something, amd your original style feels so comfortable to look at :O

Looking forward to see where you plan on taking your art style, it is gorgeous now and I am sure it will be beautiful while to experimenting more as well 💜 Screaming also at the fact that you’re cooking more Hkvh college AU, it’s what introduced me to the ship back in December 2022, which is why I hold it so dear in my heart 🥹💜 genuinely cannot wait to see what you’ve got in store for us 💜

"No bbg" yeah I could die to see bbg Kaveh and Haitham in your style 😭😭 they're so soft and lovable in your original style 🫶 BUT what your tried is very good as well ! I love the colder and darker colors :O It's great Noran ! 😊

Jennoasis

I love both for different reasons (Although ngl I laughed so hard at the no bbg comment XDD) And yessssss, more college AU!

Your soft and warm style is so beautiful! It's different to other artists.

I don't think you should change the way you draw characters fundamentally. That's way too much of a challenge and imo would change too much about your signature style rather than letting it change organically. I recommended playing with color and texture only because I think it would be fun to see what you do with it on your already great style and character design. And you can pick and choose anything about the challenge that you do don't want. I'm excited that you are looking to challenge yourself, I love to do that with writing. Ultimately have fun, we are all here because we already love what you do.

Go do what feels right and try your best to keep on growing. Experimenting is one of the best ways to do so!! I really like how the softness of rendering and lineart contrasts the rather thick way you draw proportions of characters. They feel rounded and full. While the lines and colors soften it all out.

Kari Ookami

Both look great. Obviously your own style is the better polished but the darker one still works great. I think the challange is to show areas you might be weaker in to help improve while also highlight areas you might not think of. Also it's like a before and after of being told their thesis was rejected

Sami

i loooooove both styles. if you're not enjoying the higher contrast, maybe nix it or ease yourself into it, or don't go quite as hard? i'll devour both styles/any of your art-- i love it. thanks for sharing it with us!

Narruka

Bring back the bbg

autumnsighs

I think it might be a good idea to research by “copying” other artists and studying them. And that way it’s more concrete of a goal to be like “I’m gonna practice how soandso uses lighting and adds dramatic contrasts to their piece” and then later down the road, you’ll like start employing the techniques that you enjoyed?

RodeoBlaise

No bbg I'm crying free him PLS. Your art is so soft and comforting?? Higher contrast would bring out so much too but also you are incredible, development in technique is so so so fun ;w; ty for sharing your goals with us!! (Anti non bbg art isn't real.. it can't hurt us..)

Angel

OMG I didn’t know how to describe it but your art style DOES have a blended and soft quality to it that I loveeeeee so much AND the way you draw lips is so distinct. It’s so cool to see kinda the opposite of that lol

Bee

The opposite style makes them look like it's a true crime comic and I honestly think it'd be awesome to use for a more heavy comic if you do one! ^^

Alex

I love the soft and warm one the most! Its the style that the moment we see a piece of art, we know IMMEDIATELY that this is from noran 🩷

Dai

Kaveh is so mad in the second pic! I'd eat good either way, I'm sure. Glad you happy with experimenting and finding what is and isn't negotiable in your style. ❤️

Kwelve

HAIKAVEH SCHOOL YASSS I MISS THAT AU SO MUCH TwT also, your art is always beautiful but never change your style. It's perfect <3

Disong

I love your soft art style and i feel like its really developing for the better 💕 i can only hope i get to a point like this but im intimidated by it all

Pluranimous

im gonna crawl out on a limb and say while i do Enjoy the second style, i have a soft and fond place in my heart for the way you draw as of right now that i'd be sad to see you be rid of it entirely. by far one of my favorite genshin artists for your style and I don't want to jump to too quick conclusions because I DO like the higher contrast style too. im so conflicted 🥹

Hopeleess

It looks good but i love your style the way it is, the soft warm colors, and the perfect lips 🥺 its nice to try different styles tho

Lovilup

Uuuh, me encantó como quedaron los de la derecha, se ven genial con las lineas toscas! AMO tu estilo desde hace dos años aproximadamente, por lo mismo quise meterme a tu patreon jaja y bueno, la verdad haz mejorado en tu estilo desde que te sigo en twt. He visto cómo haz cambiado la forma de hacer del cabello, los musculos e incluso las expresiones, que lo último es lo que me flechó jeje

Lovilup

Aprete Enter... A lo que iba, es que puede que no lo notes, pero si haz moldeado tu propio estilo de dibujo y es tan rico de ver! Ahora, si quieres mejorar en luces y texturas, uf, soy ignorante en el tema, pero mi amiga que dibuja me ha dicho que lo mejor es tomar cursos de artistas que saben del tema, y que estos artistas estudian el juego de luces del realismo. Me encanta tu arte y feliz sigo pagando por verlo! es un placer Saludos :)

Nojiko444

It's weird, Alhaitham looks not bad in the "evil" artstyle.... But Kaveh suddenly looks so wrong! xD he can't be de-babygilyfied xD

Aozul27

I missed the first post about this (or maybe it was a tweet?) but I'd have mentioned the lines you draw under the eyes to mark the eye bags (i hope that’s the name in english lol) because I love them so much and notice them every time!! I incorporated them in my drawings when I saw you doing so when you drew bts hehe

MeloNeko

I will admit I love your current style so much; the softness of the colors and semi-sketch quality of the lines makes them feel warm, inviting and alive. The "anti" style for this challenge gives off a more serious, moody feeling; almost like they're hard to approach. I look forward to seeing how you incorporate/experiment with those elements as you continue to experiment and create!

Emily Tatro

They both look so good but I think the problem is truly only that your art style is already so iconic 🥺

Emily Tatro

Either way excited to see where your experimenting takes you!

Shipyarn

i do love your sketchy lines, its really interesting to see how you changed things up for the challenge though! great job!

itsmelonius

They look like the evil doppelganger eheheh <3 At first sight, yeah left one (which we all are used to and adore) is "the better one" in your opinion. But taking a good look, if you try out that style more it could work, depending on what scenario you use it in. It gives off such a serious vibe I love it (sucker for toxic and soft things). I am sure you can make this work even with the sketchy lines (which are chefs kiss) when you experiment more and what works better for you in this direction (like colours/colour lines, thickness, etc.) If you feel comfortable with that obviously, cause I am living for your usual soft and loving artstyle 💅 Proud of you!

Jesica Bello Cardozo

I think that I'm really used to your warm colors that it's hard for me to see them in cold ones, but, I think that you should try that style and more just to enjoy and learn more :3 Whichever result you have, as long as you like it, it will be fine 😊 Also, the HaiKaveh sketch got me like: owo? What are they going to try? I want to see, hahaha 💚❤️

Syd

I love your art style!! i definitely would love to see some textures but awwwwww please don’t change much it is sooooo gooddddd

Bella ☆

I loooove your art style though don’t change it too much
