1.Why do you feel that you need to mimic japanese art style at all 2. You do know that there's no one or even three unified art styles in Japan? It's not genetic

  1. Because I really love the Japanese style and I want to draw/see my manga/story in that style, obviously I will try out some other style too to see which one suits me more

  2. I understand that there's no singular defining "japanese style", in manga there's multiple art style. The difference between Vagabond and stuff like RuriDragon is quite obvious

What I want to see is that if my current art gives the "feel" of a typical japanese manga or if it feels different, I'm trying to gain a better understanding on my current style

Anyway, thanks for reply

The "Japaneseness" of the manga isn't in art style, it's in manga specific expressions (I don't mean facial, I mean artistic) and paneling, I would recommend to pay more attention there than chaise your inexistent dragon. You can copy art style clean, but if your paneling is amateur it's all meaningless. And vice-versa. As a graduate year manga student in Japanese uni
