Stop drawing in anime style. Come up with your own art style instead of rehashing ever other anime artist's styles. I can never see any difference between the face shapes, eyes, hair styles, brush sizes, stroke lengths, shading, coloring, ect. It's just a lazy way of drawing and requires no effort or innovation. The emotions of the faces are always the same, to the point of where there are anime emotion generators. And no, chibi isn't different. Bring something new and interesting to the table.
Okay just gonna put this out there it's not really likely that anybody will put anything new and interesting to the table seeing as how drawing has been around since cavemen discovered that smearing charcoal on cave walls makes lines. Innovation in drawing is rare, it's not like games, or inventions. You can't simply go and make a "new" art style because pretty much every single one has been done. Mishmashes have been done. Besides, there isn't really anything wrong with a style being used a lot, because it doesn't look that bad sometimes.
Plus, you're using a super large umbrella term here. Anime encompasses a LOT of different styles, and a lot of similar yet different styles.
This, for all intents and purposes, counts as anime, however so do some of my drawings, and so does
As well as
If you don't notice some difference between the styles between just the three of the drawings I posted you're either stupid, blind, or stupid and blind.
tl;dr Stop being stupid anime is a too large of an umbrella term to say stop drawing anime also it's a good starting pointhi let me tell you something
developing your own art style? that takes time
"anime" (however general that term is as "anime" encompasses a huge amount of different art styles) is a pretty decent starting area and most people will eventually form their own style
most of the people who want to do art aren't immediately capable of drawing incredibly realistically and that's fine, that's to be expected, and if you don't like it then you can just ignore their art.
also, "anime" does take effort to do. it's not something that you can do instantly and have it look good. i've watched "speedpaints" (by that i mean even when sped up the video was well over 7 minutes in length) of anime artists drawing large pieces that, in the end, looked really loving impressive.
in short, while an anime-esque style is common in younger artists, it's to be expected and they will likely develop their own style after a while.
throwing another opinion in here, i think xkill's art looks amazing
Aside from the last sentence which makes me seem like I'm a lot better than I am, this post is actually quite accurate.
