About

Draw Fanart of a Character On-Model vs. In Your Style is a fan art trend in which participants draw a chosen character as close to their canon design as possible next to the same character designed in their own style. The trend began in late May 2023 when Twitter user TAGASAING posted a blank template explaining the trend's rules and was further popularized on Twitter in mid-June as artists quote-retweeted the post with their artwork, also spreading to sites including TikTok and DeviantArt. The template is similar to the "Canon, Fanon, Your Design" trend.

Origin

On May 31st, 2023, Twitter^[1] user @TAGASAING posted a fan art template with two squares. The top of the template is captioned, "Draw fanart of a character…," the left square is captioned, "on-model/as close to canon as possible," and the right square is captioned, "In your style with your headcanons." The post garnered over 30,000 likes and 6,100 quote retweets in three weeks (shown below).
