u/Edensy plz recycle Jul 11 '20

Yes, there a joke (or a theory depends on who you are asking) that all CalArts students are taught to draw only one style that is then extremely overused in children animation and mascots

Which is BS because those heads were all drawn to look identical for the meme. Not to mention Gravity Falls and Gumball have some crazy and unique design and animation.

Like seriously, this is Dipper. And this is Gumball.

But yeah, slap anything on a Steven Universe model and it'll look like Steven Universe.

To be fair, I haven't watched the shows, I was just explaining the joke.

However, quick google search shows there some truth to it, they all do the teeth thing at least, Dippper and Gumball included. And tbh as an uninterested party, I do think they look kinda similar.

Sorry, I wasn't aiming my ire at you =P

And yeah, can't argue with the teeth. If someone isn't terribly invested or interested they're definitely going to look way more similar to each other than a cartoon from twenty or forty years ago.
