| For me, it'd be Oh! Great. His drawing on of Air Gear towards the end looks really good. Face, body proportion, motion pose, shading, angle selection. Real concrete stuff. |

Mustang_Roy said: Woah. His art on Slam Dunk is quite meh, but hell he turned into a beast.In my opinion, it goes to Takehiko Inoue. His hyper-realistic drawings when it came to Vagabond were near perfection. He doesn't only do that, but it also to convey realistic emotions of characters which makes it even better. He turned a pencil into a brush, what manga artist can do that.. :) |

| Imo, I think Inoue is good, but his drawings are kind of realistic, and realism I feel is overrated in the world of art. Oh! Great's art style is meh. Some of his proportions are off, but he alright. Better than me anyway, lol. |

| I really like how Takeshi Obata (Death Note) and Kentaro Miura (Berserk) draw ! It is a question of taste actually, isn't it ? :p |
| Wow, real solid stuff here. Mustang_Roy said: That gif tho. I believe he's the only one who does action sequence like this? Detailed and precise.Oh, yeah... Yusuke Murata too (One Punch Man) (Can't post img BBCode is broken....... dammit) http://i.imgur.com/oHwzq.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/vH1ZMUC.gif His art sytle is very well polished and very easy to follow especially when it comes to the action sequences. |

| Tite Kubo has the best character designs. And shima (toriko author) the best creature and environment art. |
 |
| This is entirely subjective overall but maybe Ai Yazawa. She has nice, unique artwork. Motomi Kyosuke and Io Sakisaka have very nice art-styles as well. Also, Miyuki Abe's artwork in Super Lovers is gorgeous as well. So yeah, lol, there are just lots of talented artist in the manga industry, it's hard to narrow it down to one particular artist. |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| Kentaro Miura by a long shot. Amazing detail to every scene. |
| When I was younger, it was CLAMP's style that inspired me to read more manga and draw. Anatomy-wise, it's definitely not the best, but it's very aesthetically appealing. And I'm pretty biased towards art nouveau styled mangas. Park Jin-hwan - (The Breaker) Sahara Mizu / and all her other pen names - (Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan, Hoshi no Koe) Definitely feel like picking up Vagabond now, the art is really nice. |
| Alright. I have a few artists I like. I can't choose who's the best honestly. That's really hard. I personally like artists who put a lot of detail into their backgrounds. I'll probably miss some, can't remember all atm and I really need to create a list. [size=90]Shoujo artists: Shiraishi Yuki: http://i.imgur.com/1JQFIYv.jpg Robico: http://i.imgur.com/93LNZy5.png http://i.imgur.com/qvsXxv1.jpg ---- NON (she does mostly ecchi manga): http://2.p.mpcdn.net/27965/482600/3.jpg http://i.imgur.com/o6LLqoZ.jpg ---- BL Authors: Nojiko Hayakawa: http://i.imgur.com/fNjVaHP.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LbCD3kE.jpg Ichikawa Kei: http://i.imgur.com/yP0R60P.png Konjiki Runa: http://i.imgur.com/INgEvVo.jpg Using her as a general example for that artwork because I've noticed a lot of artists having it, particularly in pixiv. Dunno where it stemmed from though. ---- For Horror, I'd prefer artwork like Hideout's: http://i.imgur.com/C5xN7HS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5Be92Gx.jpg |

| It's all opinion, really . . so IMO . . Hikaru no Go's art style was pretty good. Also, simplistic art like Yotsuba. |
| Brave Heart~ Dislikes politics. |
| I love Ken Akamatsu's style. He's so neat and consistent with his art. Some of CLAMP's works are nice, too. I find it crazy awesome how xxxHolic is drawn only black and white, no gray (except for the colored covers). I also love the art in Paradise Kiss, Genshiken, and Rosario+Vampire. Paradise Kiss has a lot of detail when it comes to clothing and designs (which is only natural), Genshiken has a fun and kooky tone to it, and Rosario+Vampire has extraordinary detail when it comes to the monsters bodies. Oh, and yes, Yotsubato! Forgot the mangaka's name (x.x) but he did quite the nice job with Yotsubato and his other works. |
 |
| When it comes to colors I absolutely love Ishida Sui's watercolor thing. He makes it look really elegant somehow. For plain drawings, I think Asano Inio is best. Everything just looks so captivating, fragile, and haunting. Most fitted for manga would be Kazuma Kondou though. Have you seen his panelling? Like dayum. |
 |
| My favorite artist is Suzuhito Yasuda. He's only done one manga series, Yozakura Quartet, but his art style is so unique and recognizable. He does the art for a couple of light novels and video games too. Some examples would be Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Durarara, Devil Survivor, etc. I also love his character designs. |
 |
| artist of ReLife so clean + colored |
 |
| It's hard to answer and there is no answer probably. I think all the manga artists' style is spectacular I have ever read manga from. I really love for example the art style of Kaori Yuki, Minase Masara, Takanaga Hinako, Hasumi Toui, Nihei Tsutomu, Yagi Norihiro, Peach-Pit, Itsuki Kaname, Chrono Nanae, CLAMP, Nakamura Asumiko, Yoneda Kou, Shimaki Ako, Est Em, Junko, Kakine, DUO Brand, Naono Bohra, Inoue Satou, Miwa Shirow, Mitsuki Ryoko, Karasuma Tasuku and Psyche Delico. But as I wrote before, I love all of them. I think every mangaka has his/her own style, which is a big performance (to create something special but to still belong to the general "manga" style), and I really respect them for what they do. Maybe that's why I can't really pick one or two "best" mangakas. Each of their stlye is special due to something. ^^ |
| In terms of backgrounds, Katsuhiro Otomo has the best drawn scenery I've ever seen. They're just buildings, rectangles basically, but he somehow draws them with such ENERGY. They feel dynamic. And when skyscrapers start collapsing, and machinary gets torn apart, the chaos seems organized and perfect. It's hard to explain. He's not my favourite artist, but his skills are hard to deny. |
| so much love for Takehiko Inoue neh? I like his drawing too and also Sorachi in these recent years |
“The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages.” -Bansky  |
| Ketaro Miura... the detail in his later Berserk chapters is freakin' bananas. |
TheBlackTeaLady said: Masasumi Kakizaki : Rainbow, Green Blood, Hideout... Probably the one with best drawings from I've read was his "Hideout". It looks amazing and super-creepy. As for the cutest one, my favourite mangaka is probably Cuteg, her works are way too adorable!  |

| Not the best but my favourite are Robico (simple, more realistic, beautiful) and Irie Aki (detailed, fantasy-like, captivating) |
 |
| Akira Toriyama, to which he inspired a whole generation of artists like Eiichiro Oda, Hiro Mashima,.. Inoue Takehiko when it comes to more realistic style. Takeshi Obata and Yusuke Murata whom was his apprentice. Saeki Shun, I heard he was a hentai mangaka prior Shokugeki No Souma though. Must be the reason. |

| The Breaker, no doubt about it as well as Berserk, man the amount of detail he puts on it is crazy |
| Which Manga do you think has the best or most breathtaking art style...it doesn't matter if you dislike the actual story- in terms of art style alone, which are your favourites?? Off the top of my head I'd go with Vampire Knight, Black Butler, Angel Sanctuary and Nana. |

| The art style in Homunculus is amazing. Realistic facial features and they're so detailed. |
| Ive gotta give this one to berserk, though Kingdom was pretty cool at times |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I haven't reach much manga, but Claymore's artstyle near the end of the series stands out the most for me. |
  |
| Since berserk schould be named by default in such threads i say Kingdom cause there were some panels that blew me away and i enjoy its art style in general. Also Claymore! |
| I like Takeshi Obata's art. aka Hikaru No Go, Death Note, Bakuman It's very realistic looking and just amazingly done overall Also on a flipside I'm very fond of Adachi Mitsuru's art. aka cross game, h2, etc. It's just so innocent and simple. Hard not to like it. |
| Tite Kubo has gotten way more technical and sophisticated over the years, going from rough to crystal clear in his art style. http://i.imgur.com/uwCbOnt.jpg |
|
| For me, it's Akira Amano. Her arts are not much realistic and detailed, but just simply and clear, kind of cute as well. And this colouring, oh man. cant wait for her new project |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| This might change after I've read more but from the few I've read and saw the artstyle off.... Prison SChool's art(all including outside the ecchi scenes) seems to be the best.... It's one of the reason I was immersed whenever reading it. |
| maybe not the "best" as in great, detailed, or eye-popping, but I think Inio Asano, author of Oyasumi Punpun, Solanin, etc has the best art style as in realistic in drawing the character not too "beautified", not so "ugly-fied" either like other mangaka that made the mc extremely beautiful just because the plot says so in most of his works, all the character, even the main ones tends to be "normal-looking", this is why when you're reading it, it feel like you're reading about real people, not people from manga |
