something I think is kinda cool with gender stereotypes being not always accurate? I, at least, heard a lot about how women get color and men get spacial interactions yadda yadda.
Now there *may* be bias I'm not seeing (f'rex, women who "draw like guys" get more work) but some artists I really admire - JAW Cooper, Terryl Whitlatch, Claire Wendling and now Eliza Ivanova? They're ALL about the draftsmanship, they're awesome colorists but they don't *need* to be to be amazing y'know?
and of course the flip side is guys like Tolouse-Latrec, Frazetta, NC Wyeth, Tyrus Wong, and their color is big, vivid, forceful.
I honestly think the stereotype is just that, it doesn't reflect how artists are actually wired.
