I was wondering which anime/manga/VN/eroge/doujinshi etc has the most easiest art style? And what anime/manga/VN/eroge/doujinshi etc has the most hardest art style?

This is just a test for new art styles I am making :D

You're own. Try to copy what styles you like and fuse them with your own.

I don't know what is easy.

It's certainly your own style, but I have a friend who took up a little anime drawing for his job (and he has no artistic background btw). He found the simple style from Lucky Star the easiest to start drawing with no experience. Lots of room for error and also you can add easy highlights and color. So I would guess that basic Slice of Life anime is easiest to draw.

I mean these look easy

compared to this, right?

I'd imagine the hardest is probably going to be the most highly detailed anime.

K-On! has a pretty simple art style.
Urawa no Usagi-chan has a very simple art style. Ai Mai Mi, Ai Mai Moe can Change, Aiura, Teekyuu, Binchou tan, and pretty much all other moe shorts have simple art styles.

Any anime with stylized/cartoonish proportions, a clear outline and low-shade count will be easier to draw. FLCL for example can pull off some incredible animation because its art style follows all those rules.hiner outlines, 5-colors shading, visible lips and noses are obviously going to be more work, wich quickly adds up if you're planning to animate the whole thing.

I got back into drawing thanks to Kill la Kill. It's kinda easy to draw yet you can feel that the guys who made it are playing with cartoonish art style because that's what they want, and/or need for financial reasons, not because they can't draw realistic cartoons.
