Years ago... I remember two friends who really liked Takeshi Obata's art, so much so that they wanted to adopt Obata's drawing style for themselves...

So they set out to draw a full volumes or two of death note, they would draw page by page.

They would do it until they got used to obata's style, I tried it once but I didn't follow because I was lazy back then.

And about them, I lost touch... I never knew if that method served them or not...


I have seen several times that it is better to develop a style of my own than to imitate or copy others, but I would like to know...
Is it a method that might work to adopt someone else's style? Of course, without neglecting the practice of anatomy

But would it work?
