i dont think theres a thread about this but
which do you prefer? shonen manga art or shoujo art?
i like shonen better
generally, shoujo drawings annoy me for some reason (maybe they seem kinda unproportional), but dont get me wrong, i do enjoy a lot of shoujo manga

I certainly prefer shounen art because (apart from the hot chicks they draw) shoujo artists tend to make characters look too European and impossibly thin for their height.

I usually warm up to shoujo art, but to start with I find a lot of typical shoujo styles off-putting. Though theres a lot of variation within both categories, I usually prefer your typical shounen drawn characters.

unexpectedly, shonen art is so much cuter than shoujo....

The ideal human body, aka non-existant. Shonen for me.
basically shounen does what some could consider impossible, ideal female bodies. (and how every female character has one)
definately shounen, but i like the diversity to be able to switch it up occasionally
I'd say shonen for I dislike huge, plate-like eyes.

Shounen art, I also find it cuter than shoujo art. I think It's also cause I like it when hair is bunched together more than when it's uhh... strandy? It's also more appealing to me, while I'm drawing. There's not as much fun in drawing if I have to draw hair all strandy-like.

Depends on the individual artist. Shounen tends to have way too many impossible boobies, while shoujo tends to have the huge eyes & very thin/elongated bodies; overall I think I like shoujo better.
