Is ‘soul’ measured by how well developed the characters, scene, mood, and universe are? I’ve been feeling more and more like that lately. The reason why a lot of newer art feels soulless is because nobody puts thought and care into the universe they’re creating.

it literally just means appealing, but newfaggot retards dont understand the fundamentals of what makes something appealing so they just call it "mysterious magic".

"Soul" has as much meaning as "Art" which is zero.

It's mostly composition and a bit of color theory too. If you're worried about it in your art read some stuff on character animation, it's a vital part of that medium and the major material about it does a really good job explaining the basic rules really simply and clearly.

i didnt really mean soul, but i definitely think how developed the context of the work is contributes to its appeal

There's plenty of shit I like that doesn't feel right to refer to as having "soul" so I don't really think it's just about appeal.
It's probably got more to do with some sort of resonant quality that makes that work worth a thousand words to you because of its ability to let you project thoughts, emotions, etc. onto it.

Soul is when you can tell the artist gave a shit about their piece. It's like a well full to the brim with some good ass water. Over time, though, if that water isn't refilled, it'll dry up and the artist will become a soulless hack.

Soul is an explainable artistic energy, a Renaissance painter might have it, a five year old retard might have it. Nobody knows what makes it but they most definitely know it when they see it.

This. The opposite is easy to identify - overworking or overdesigning something in a way that says the artist's main goal is just to make something "cool looking", but comes across as forced and boring. There's no inherent vision to guide the artist - just a toolbag of soulless tricks that only works towards making stuff look "cool".

Soul is appeal, or what you like. If you make something that's appealing to you, you put forth more effort. So just draw what you like, OP. It's better to draw what you like and find likeminded people.

Everyone saying soul has no meaning is wrong. You cracked the code, anon. It's sorta magic but it can be explained like that, art becomes charming when you can feel the creator cared about putting a story of sorts inside lf his illustration so even if it's done by a kid, the SOUL can still be felt

Anons are just being pedantic here. But it's true, we have words for pretty much that feeling. Storytelling and composition are all about that.
But I'm sure plenty of artists studied it and their work still feels soulless when they don't put their whole heart into drawing

Soul is a dreamscape, imagination. At its height it is a reflection of the divine.
It is a feeling and a sense you get when their is more to the artwork then appears,or when you subconsciously fill in the details with your own imagination.

I'm unsure if this was really the first time I experienced "soul", but it's one of the earliest I can think of right now. I also didn't see the pic you posted til a good while after I had already played the game but I wonder if that playing experience would count too since the feeling it had going for it is something I would like my style to encompass as well.

i would say a part of soul, to me, is that something isn't painfully perfect symmetrical digital piece. it has the stamp of a human hand.

Playing Final Fantasy 9 probably, or seeing previews/ads for it in a magazine. Love that game so much, and its art.

SOUL : the artist poured a part of him/herself into it,drew with passion and it shows.
SOULLESS : doing the art isn't the real objective, the artist just does what's needed to maje money,done without a genuine drive and it shows.

Quoted By:

in the simplest way to me soul is:
the art makes you feel a genuine emotion or you can see the emotions the artist put into the work

soul is different to everyone and it’s kind of an undefinable thing, which is why there’s so much debate over it. basically there are much better things to argue over than something so esoteric.

There's so much soul in this art that I actually considered buying a Harvest Moon Game. That's something.

Artistically, however, I'd say it was reading my first Asterix book. I only had one as a kid, but I kept visiting it just to look over the art.
