How it's used
Originally referring strictly to visual arts, this term has evolved to describe the aesthetic or vibe of anything from video games to social media posts. It is frequently used in casual critiques to pinpoint why a piece of media feels cohesive or jarring. When someone says a project has a weird 畫風, they are usually commenting on a mismatch in tone or visual quality.
