The Jelly Artstyle Wars 

i hate how puririka acted in this situation, she makes tutorials how to draw in her style, then gets mad when people draw in her style? horrible.

rika: *makes a tutorial* someone: *follows it* rika: HOW DARE U

The 13 yr old is so talented fr tho ❤

I gotta say, a few months ago Riri was also banned from everskies (dress up and blogging type game, she designed items for it under the name purio, and had a large platform there as well) for posting a screenshot of her telling a hate commenter from TikTok to k!ll themself?? It was so strange...like, why are you proud of that ☹☹

It looks so symetrical and always the same face with same angles, its okay if some of yall like it but girlll😨😭😭

not influencers getting mad when they INFLUENCE 🙄

"Objection that's cap your honor" god I'm stealing that. Wait no sorry I'm taking inspiration from that (stealing).

the way that she handled this is childish as HELL. and to anyone to make fun of and mass report- a 13 year old??????? my fucking god can we end this year in peace bro 😭

I think what’s even more annoying about this situation, is instead of being concerned about a popular artist sending their fans to harass people for having a similar style to their’s, people are more worried about how “the style isn’t even that good anyway” and how “ugly” the style is even though that’s not the focus rn I get it, everyone has an opinion on an art style but I think there’s bigger things to worry about then being able to “confess” to not like the “Jelly Art” style 🙄

I always love how rin talks

2:43 its even worse because the kids drawing objectively looks better. its obvious they were inspired but they have the speedpaint to prove they didnt just 1-1 it.... plus they're... you know... a child???? but they clearly put a lot more effort into the rendering process than the original 💀 I've never quite understood the whole "don't make your own versions of my work" thing... it seems pretty gate-keepey and elitist. It makes me think back to Michelangelo, and the greats, everyone in those eras all took reference off eachother... that was like the whole point of art apprenticeship like sure don't yoink somebody's shit and pass it off as your own but if you're inspired by my work, that's an incredible thing. I honestly feel a sense of pride when people use my work as inspiration, it proves i'm doing something that meant something to somebody. we're supposed to be inspiring the next gens not ridiculing and demeaning them.

Despite how immature this was 😭 If you ever made a video about me because I did something bad I would cry omg

cant wait to be known enough to have people tracing my art

i feel like some people make tutorial because it gain tractions and clout compare to just speed paints or time laps

is the title broken or whatt lmao for me it shows the same title as your last video... excited to watchh though!! :D

Off topic but I love your accent sm it never gets old

3:38 If I'm being honest, they both look terrible in my opinion.

I will never understand people gatekeeping a style. There’s only so much you can do to make your own style, that your’s will overlap eventually with someone else’s!

Why did the 13yo make a better drawing then her tho like the hair looks so much better

puririka: makes tutorial for head follower: can I use this as reference? puririka: no no silly, *YOU CANT!*

I swear this isnt the right video but i literally love your videos and art

Because of this drama, i can’t post my art anymore bc I’m afraid someone might do this or hate on me 😭

I love the way you talk, youre so pretty too

ngl this video made me think about my teacher and how mad he would get if we copied his work when he would demonstrate things and say stuff like "this is my work" like yeah?...but we copy it to get used to the hand movements and line weights etc.

The caption 😭😭

new rin upload!!

What lipstick or gloss do you use, it looks so gorgeous ✨️

O inglês é tão enrolado e estranhamente fofo!!! 💖💖

"You just know it will be a banger with how those first 10 seconds started." Said the police...

the way you used the ace attorney music and objection

How can you make a tutorials that feature your art style and be getting mad when someone has art that looks like yours? U taught them to do it-💀 and the ‘ill do it again’ bro- your going to accuse a child of tracing when they didnt? Like your literally trying to be wrong and strong. You teach people to draw like you show them how to draw like you and then get mad when they draw like you what sense does that actually make whos your teacher like wheres your common sense? Like when you made these tutorials what was your thought process did you think “hmmm if i make a art tutorial that teaches them my art style and they follow it they’re just going to turn out with a whole opposite artstyle than mine!” Like what-

yay happy holidays

LOL. No one needs to trace her art to make art. one has to be way up their own ass to think they "own" an art-style. Like, there are tech capitalists with machine learning programs stealing everyone's art. fellow artists aren't the enemy here.

If it's not a secret, where is Rin from? I just love the accent and when she said the word "banal" it sounded and was used like a Russian word. So I was curious, is she from a slav country??

hi rin

Because I’m willing to bet that some of Puririka’s fans might stumble across this video. Please, reflect on yourselves. This is a freaking 18 year old you’re praising. She is a literal adult acting like a childish bully. Outright stating she would love to cause drama if it means she’ll get attention. Even telling people to off themselves. And that is the type of person you want to look up to?

The battle was lost when their accusation went from tracing, to “well she copied from reference.” That’s called moving the goalpost. You’ve already proven you accusations are baseless. We can’t just take your word for it now.

Why did I click so fastly

Naruto?

8:24 hold on, Banal? As in banale? Is?? Is Rin Italian??

😲

puririka could've been more respectful of the way she confronted the artist, even if they did actually trace her work. it's funny that she makes tutorials on how to draw the way she does and gets mad at someone for following them 💀💀

i think the art community has been getting way too possessive lately, like even the slightest similarities between styles are immediately criticized and called out, except it's always the smaller account that receives the backlash.

I’ve never understood why artists make all these drawing tutorials but get so pissy abt ppl actually using them like 💀 that’s literally the point of an art tutorial

Riri: Hey I made a tutorial on how to draw in my style The kid: *follows tutorial* Riri: _MNMNMGH_

isnt this the same person who replied to someones comment about how the art style is overrated to "kys" then posted it on everskies (her account was purio), got banned and said that telling someone to off themselves wasn't a big deal then liked a comment saying "if they do then skill issue"? damn

i'm a musician and if a thirteen yo was copying my shit i would be _so_ complimented. people make art by copying and it takes a while to evolve and merge those different styles into your own style and kids generally haven't had that time. i cannot conceive of what goes through someone's mind to make them try and expose a thirteen year old for plagiarism that's wild

arttok has quickly become a hellscape and i left when i started seeing VIRAL tiktoks hating on the jelly art style and artists who did it for no reason...

Can I also say, for being ONLY 13, that artist is insanely talented? I hope the kid is able to keep going with art. They’re going places!

4:18 this is exactly how i feel especially as i’ve gotten older. imitation is one of the best forms of flattery! of course there’s a point where harm could be done if people are taking your work and profiting directly off of it, but if a young artist is trying to draw more like an older artist, theres hardly much downside for both artists in that sense. art style discourse has happened for literal YEARS and yet we’re here again, and it’s on tiktok rather than someplace like instagram and I’m already so over it lmao

Honestly if a 13 year old managed to mimic my artstyle Id be super impressed. Since it took me uhh 18 plus years to get to my style

This whole art community drama made me paranoid to even post a single art study inspired by an artist without clearly including their name..tagging them and so... I even wanted to make some stickers with my art that was just an entry of mine from another artist's dtiys but i asked her privately first if its OK for me to print it and whether or not mention it was inspired by her.. fortunately it was all easy she said i could just mention her name if i ever sell them and thats all. Thank you.

I will never understand someone making tutorials on how to do something and then getting mad at people for doing exactly that.

im very early into the vid but, does anyone remember in the 2010s, and definitely earlier - artists were soo supportive of other artists and ESPECIALLY beginners. the idea of ganging up on a young, new artist, would have been simply out of the question. idk what caused this change, but I absolutely hate it - its rife on twitter too

To be honest i would be so happy if someone trys my artstyle And she made a TURTORIAL for how to do her style what did she expect💀💀💀💀

Oh the title is wrong Rin, though worried me it was a reupload and the original gotten taken down

i feel like no matter the situation it is 100% your responsibility to Not Give A Shit about a13 year old doing something dumb on the internet. even if the drawing was a one to on recreation, its a kid. its ridiculously immature to pick a fight with a kid doing something wrong. if you care so much let them know gently you would like them to take it down (which also?? this situation doesn't even warrant that to me, this is a Nothingburger of a controversy) and if they say no you as a grown adult need to Move On. this shouldn't even be a situation, ridiculous to be this pressed about something so small, much less sending your large audience to attack a little kid. strange. peculiar. annoying. puririka is 18 and that is still young but she should absolutely know better, ridiculous behavior.

i’m going to guess this riri girl has a huge ego and cult-like fans. a similar thing happened to me a few years ago and that person used their large audience to send me tons of hate because i “plagiarized.” when ppl get to a certain level they think they can do whatever they want. she was probably this kid’s fav artist, but now the poor kid probably won’t draw or post their art again because she hated on them.

I mean, all artists typically copy drawings they like when starting out. Then, as we improve, we develop our own style and methods. This culture in the art community of going after beginners is so toxic and dumb.

WELCOME BACK RIN!!! It's been a while since I've seen a video of yours. Happy to be a blind mole. What people are doing is awful though, a piece of art should not be hated on solely for how it looks (atleast, what I've heard other people are doing about the jelly artsyle) Ngl, more artists and people in general need to learn how to handle things privately without posting to twitter and TikTok.

She also went live and said she would do it again because it gave her likes and followers, and she called another commentary channel a p3d0 because they lightly criticized her art style

i understand the concept of intellectual property and everything but like.. imagine if i uploaded a tutorial on how to build a table, and *a CHILD* build that table. and instead of being amazed and impressed over a 13 yr old building that table i just got really mad that they built myyy table. like????

if the artstyle already has severe sameface and looks copypasted with itself puririka should Not go accusing people of copypasting it. she brought that on herself tbh. especially when making TUTORIALS. for shame

I had an absolute feral reaction hearing the word "banal" as a romanian. I dont know shit so she might not actually be romanian but seeing a felow romanian artist makes me so fucking happy

ive seen asian artists with that jelly art style even way before puririka

Just wanted to say as a mutual of the 13 year old that the girl didn't get banned she has 2k+ followers now

Even if she felt the artist stole her art in some aspect (which they didn't), girl let it go. It's a kid learning art and sharing it. As an adult, publicly or privately personally messaging a kid about an art style is weird and unnecessary.

this is such a chronically online problem, this is not a real problem lets be for real

I think I actually start tweaking when people get mad at someone for inspiration or reference. I can maybe understand like, ‘close’ referencing i guess but it’s just. Incredibly hypocritical, as if an artists art-style isn’t basically a Frankenstein of elements of art the individual particularly likes (which they would’ve most likely got… FROM ANOTHER ARTIST! SHOCKER!). I remember when I was younger tagging someone in a discord saying I was inspired by them, and then they told me to never take inspiration without permission (???) and accused me of stealing their oc. They had posted a free colour palette to use that they used for their dog oc, i made a dog oc as well with that colour palette. Woof, going on a tangent here but it’s a shame cause riri’s art isn’t bad, like at all. She’s young, and maybe a bit lacking in how she handles situations but, sort of just sad to the tiktok community collectively put down that sort of art style she has to lift there own. Sometimes I wish the tt art community was a little boxing bag so I could punt it whenever it spouts out these debacles

Beefing with a middle schooler is CRAZY

rin it’s been so long I missed u 😔

no hate, but where are you from? your accent grabs my attention in a good way, its cute :) edit: typo

I love your hair :)

I'm sorry but this art style is very uncanny and unsettling. Idk why.

The amount of bullying and harassment on Art TikTok is so scary 🥺🥺🥺

Idk what’s with the Tiktok art community and taking this basis on “I’m gonna do it again!” Thing, it’s honestly a very corny response when being presented with something shitty that you probably shouldn’t be doing, but since accountability and holding yourself humble is basically a different language, they would rather double down than admit to doing something shitty once they have their loyal followers to give them gratification for their behavior, sometimes we really do make the wrong people popular man, it sucks, I hope anyone who’s been affected by her immature behavior is okay,

8:30 haha the bilingual struggle is real I think the more correct translation would be cliché (Sorry that's off topic) But I agree Puririka should have handled the issue more carefully and maturely

its horrible, i cant believe ppl are doing this

What's with the title? I'm confused ❤

IDC about art drama but can someone tell me why her art style haa to look the way mine did 3yrs ago? Im literally so paranoid

The Ace Attorney refrence gave me +999 Dectective Skill points

Hello! Ex mutual here! I’d like to share some things I know about this situation. Due to being her mutual at the time I got to see her more personal side. And I’m not defending her at all but I really feel like it would be wrong to not say what I know lmaooo So Riri wasn’t really this mad and full of anger for most of her time on TikTok, it all went down hill once the jelly artstyle got popular. And because an artstyle is popular it means it must be hated on asap. So that’s where I saw her slowly responding to comments more bitter than she ever has. It honestly makes me sad bc she’s even admitted on her Insta stories that she has anger issues and has had trouble eating due to hate. So I believe her bitterness comes from the jelly artstyle hate but also in my opinion it’s because of how much her fans worship her and it leads to a massive ego. I was a teacher in her server and seeing how the people in her server acted I realised really quickly who her fan base was. Now i wasn’t close to riri by any means but I really want to express a problem I’ve seen come from this issue that no one is talking about and that’s her mutuals being hated on so badly it’s ruining their mental health. Now I unfollowed her bc I genuinely didn’t agree w what she did, but I really don’t agree with going after mutuals because? Mutuals doesn’t mean best friends? My and riri coincidently followed eachother and didn’t know it for a bit. Edit: for the ppl who don’t understand what this comment is for, it’s for bias reasons. I’m simply giving you insight to riri as a person. You can’t be a commentator on an issue without both sides or else it’s bias hatred and that’s when you’re no better than the person you’re hating. Two wrongs don’t make a right guys. Hate is hate and if your made at Riri for hate, then turn your focus to not hating and help the victims in this situation. Like the poor 13yr old artist. So ya that’s all I wanted to say

i love the ace attorney joke

the title changed without me refreshing the video what kind of future are we in hehehehe

i devoured my breakfast thank u ❤

What is it with artists that attack other artists for "tracing" You should approch the artist and say if its ok not to heavily refence it if that's the case or better off be happy that people love the style and draw like them I know I would if someone referenced my drawings especially young artists

Because of this whole situation, I think people are starting to believe "stealing art styles" is a thing, cause I saw a tiktok basically saying that... like hasn't every artist learned that it isn't a thing....

I love the jelly art style and I wanna learn how to draw in it but that again I’m gonna get hated on for liking riri even though I don’t like her and Ik the drama that happened I just feel like I’m gonna get shit on for drawing in the jelly art style :(

the jelly artstyle is so popular rn and purika is the main inspo for it and she can’t expect someone not to want to draw like that. humalitating a person like that no matter what age is not ok

I think the title is wrong 😅

copying other artists art styles to some degree is literal how everyone is developing their own style. And also she's a vulnerable child, you should encourage her, not put her down. that's horrible behaviour.

I missed you Rin. I actually got a drawing pad for christmas and have to say thank you for your drawing tutorial. Jelly style isnt for me and this is just disgusting and toxic. If you are going to teach people how to draw in that style then dont get offended when you copy that style. The 13 year olds one looks better to me. Its alright. Just looks like okay.

(repost) These people don't realize how recycled art can be, and there is nothing wrong with that! Every idea has been made by this point, some to different degrees Its just so annoying how people put art in a box. Just as long as the artist isn't blatantly copying from another artist, but instead take inspiration then it's fine. HIstory is literally repeating itself. With the animation meme community's old drama, to tumblr and twitter being toxic, to deviantart or even amino-- and now this.

That’s the new ‘rendering process :3‘ situation

When you have a generic art style where all your drawings look the same, they all have the same features and same expressions, and people decide to draw in your style (which was a tiktok trend to draw in the jelly artstyle and you also make tutorials on how to draw that way) then is it crazy that their drawings will turn out like yours??

9:23 i was in the server when she posteed about the video. she said dolliestra is racist for drawing a poc person in her art style lol

morrendo com o "banal... beenal" ahsuhausha

lmaoo i thought the pink hair pic was the 13 year old's cuz it looked worse then the 13 year old's most the effort was put into the face the anatomys so weird and the hairs like a plastic piece thats slapped over the head lmaoo it look so bad

Are you bulgarian

long ago i used to be part of facebook drawing groups and once someone traced my art and put it on their facebook cover i got a bit angry, i opened his dms and i realized he had previously sent me a dm talking about this art (the original one) asking what program i used, and i noticed it was just a kid by the way he talked i proceeded to dm the little dude saying his version of my artwork was pretty cool and he thanked me and asked for advice (i sent him art youtube channels) from then on i just kinda realized that kids tracing my art is one of the higher forms of compliments one can get, i mean, you are literally being part of the first artistic influences of this kid and they will likely remember you forever. and although there are a lot of very famous kids on social media, the great majority of them have very small art accounts and a small art circle consisting of other kids who are beginners as well. i think it's best to just be kind to them and remember that you also traced your favorite artworks when you were a kid because you genuinely liked them so much :)
