How to Draw Genshin Impact Characters - Genshin Impact Artstyle Analysis

In this video I'll do a deep dive into Genshin Impacts artstyle by breaking down the different elements the characters card illustrations are made up of!

If you would like to see know more about Genshin Impacts Character Designs I recommend watching my recent video about it:

I also applied the steps i described in that video to my own characters in this video:

If you'd be interested to see the full process of the character I drew for this video, here is a link to my patreon:

The things I notice about Genshin's art style is that there are a lot of gold trimmings or metalwork in a lot of their character designs that share the same saturation. They must also have cultural motifs that go with their respective country as this game treats itself as a cultural export; as characters take 9-12 months to make, it is hard to replicate that kind of extensive research by 1 person.

Over-accessorization and a lot of chars with gloves of some kind. A lot of chars have palette colors that fit their visions, but not necessarily. I think the closest anybody to replicating the Genshin art style and fooled people into believing it to be a real character is the fanart of a small oni girl whom the artist imagined to be a leaked Kuki Shinobu.

Guessing the character based on the body sketech sounds very interesting!

This was so helpful omg in the past I tried to make an oc…. and gave up because I got frustrated, BUT THIS VIDEO JUST MOTIVATED ME TO KEEP TRYING

[glistica]

Omg you have no idea how much you've helped!! I saw people making those OC splash arts but I was so demotivated, your video made me want to keep trying until I can perfectly replicate the art style!! Thank you!!

[SpinningTill]

You don’t know how much I needed this, thank you so much!! 😭

[keishiiru]

This is so motivating, THANK YOUU. I needed this

[Siayt]

I NEEDED THIS
I've always found the style really nice to look at and wanted to adapt some of it's features to my own, so this will be a great help :3

Can you do a HSR art style study? I like both games’ art and they look similar but the HSR characters look more…well I’d say mature and somewhat realistic. Great video! It helped me do artstyle study more efficiently.

[Kazekai_AJ]

This was very helpful, love how you go into perfect detail while showing/explaining your process. Thank you 💙

[Seris_Amious]

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Ive been really wanting to "replicate" the genshin style but i didnt know where or how to start!!

[Calina_guitar]

tysm u have no idea how struggling ive had with their style of art!! TYSM AGAIN!!

[QueenGremlin]

This was really informative and interesting to watch! For me the voiceover was going so fast that I lost half of the meaning so I had to slow the video down to get all the gold nuggets! 😊 You really have some great points please don't feel that you need to rush through them :) I would have gladly sat through. 30min analysis of this. I will be back for more of your videos ;)

[HackHeyner]

So, so fascinating how this study was made. Mesmerized!!

[joselinabueno]

I really love this series! Have you considered doing a Tears of Themes analysis?

[coolrabi]

The video is great and very interesting but please improve on your speaking. Too much mumbling and whispering😭. Otherwise superb, love your stuff!

[dawihs]

THANK YOU. So useful!
Are you german? I hear an accent.

I also recommend talking slower or more clearer, sometimes it's difficult to understand you

[ZSHAR]

PLEASE DO HSR STYLE STUDY, THERE ARE NEW CHARACTERS FOR YOU TO STUDY!

[ashleyandanime]

I swear this video is helping so much. Probably going to remake Claire’s splash art and Ashley’s(has my name because she’s me in the Genshin verse, that’s why she doesn’t exactly have a name from Germany despite being from mondstadt, my surname is German though so she has a German surname) character banner art after I make Claire’s character banner art.
