I thought this would become an interesting topic. Post your graphic style here. If you can, post a picture of what your graphic style looks like. I'll start with mine.

Step 1. Draw a black outline of your graphic.

Step 2. Color it in and shade it. Dither the shading.

Step 3. Color the outline so that each pixel of the outline is three shades darker (On the MMF pallete) than the darkest neighboring pixel (That isn't part of the outline).

Example:

Step 1: Get an idea what the object should look like.
Step 2: Draw object shape.
Step 3: Colour the object.
Step 4: Draw details.

1: Draw a shape of the ocject/creature
2: Add some detail(like hands and feet and stuff)
3: And some more detail
4: Then add some more color and details, like blood.

1) outline in black or in another dark shade.
2) fill it in with the lighest or darkest colors depending on the object.
3) add shading

as for my style: cartoonish anime.

I cant really describe my style

I guess when drawing a person or animal i draw the outline first starting with the head and working down then colouring, usually plain shades.

they always turn out a uniqe stlye of anime or similar to the old sonic the hedgehog style characters since i drew only that from 1991-1995
its warped my style.
I tried to make my people look better so i attempted to do some anime style people, and over time they're unique.
nowadays i only copy pictures i hardly ever draw a picture from memory.

Start drawing from the most complex area of the drawing using dark lines. Then, add I brighter fill.

My style varies too much to slap a sticker on it with a brief description. I draw cartoony, realistic, old school(snes-like), outlined, not outlined, colour, black and white, depending on how I feel.
For my new game Im going for a bit of snes-like, simple GFX:

Kind of realistic:

Sorry if I didnt conform to the 'rules', just thought it too hard to sum up my style in one pic.

Mine is anime-esque. Check the website for various pictures and images.

On my bigger pictures I'll draw the outlines in on paper and then "scan" them in... with my digital camera.

Then I'll cut out the picture from the paper on the computerized image.

Then I will make a duplicate image layer of the picture and fill the duplicate over the original with black and call it "Outline".

Next I make a new blank layer and hide the outline layer. I will color in the picture as I see fit while looking at the original pencil drawing on the main bottom layer.

After adding color, I will show all layers and see if it looks right with the color and outline. I eventually destory the original pencil copy in the digital image (I have a copy of it elsewhere on the computer anyway).

Then I add in the highlights, shading, and any other effects I see fit for the picture.

Save, flatten, send out.

With smaller pictures, I'll just do them as pixel art on the computer without any paper or scanning.

I'm going to be buying a graphics tablet soon along with a new upgraded art program. ><
