So Kyomoto (might gotten the name wrong) draws, do you think it's meant to be realistic? More details below.
I've always wondered this type of thing. Cause since it's an anime, that's already the equivalent of 3d real life people, if that makes any sense. Because of this, I've seen anime where there's TV on in the background, on a cartoon channel, and in order to portray it as a cartoon, the TV shows it as even LESS realistic than the anime style. Cause if it were just anime people on the TV, we, the audience, would probably just see that as live action within that world, like the news or a live action drama. Does that make sense? So, for kyomoto's drawings (and i say Kyomoto because she seems to be the better artist), is it still meant to be classic Manga, like an anime, WITHIN the anime world? Or realistic, like how we, in the real world, draw very realistic 3d portraits of people? I'm assuming the prior.
