An art style that isn’t very serious. In our tags, this is also somewhat opposed to pixel art, though it’s possible for something to get both tags at certain intersections. Cartoon art, when opposed to pixel art, has smooth lines and looks drawn instead of plotted or rendered. Cartoon art otherwise, in terms of aesthetics, might heavily reference loony toons or other ‘western’ animation, but usually we’re referring to the style of rendering the characters. If art heavily references japanese influenced styles, it might also be labeled as ‘anime.’
