The art styles everyone is sharing right now, what makes each one special and how to get the best result from your photo.
Table of contents
Hand-painted animation looks
Soft watercolour skies, warm light and gentle linework. These styles work best with outdoor or natural-light photos and calm expressions.
Anime and manga
Bold outlines, big expressive eyes and cel shading. Clear front-facing selfies give the most recognisable results.
Pixel and retro game
Turn yourself into an 8-bit or 16-bit character. Simple backgrounds and strong colours read best at low resolution.
3D toon and clay
Rounded, playful characters that look like they stepped out of an animated film. Great for profile pictures and stickers.
Picking the right style for the moment
Use painterly styles for wallpapers and prints, anime for social avatars, and 3D toon for stickers and fun group posts. Mix and match – each generation only takes seconds.
