ART – Comparing Manga/Anime Style to Western Cartoon Style

I didn’t expect to be talking about this, but I suppose I should have known it might come up.

One of my patrons over on Patreon asked me to talk about the subject of Manga/Anime style and how it’s the same or different from western styles.

I’m a big fan of anime and I’ve done my share of studying the style.  I also know a little bit about the history of the style.  I’m generally fascinated by anime and I’ve got some theories about certain aspects of it.

Below is a video I made comparing Manga/Anime Styles and Western Cartoon style.  Below the video on this post, you’ll find a link to all the websites you see in the video:
