ALBAWABA - A fan art of Frieren by an artist called SpaceDev1 recently went viral on social media, causing fellow artists and animators to pick up the pen and have a go at it due to its challenging angle.
SpaceDev1 first shared the fan art on a Reddit sub dedicated to the beloved anime and manga, Frieren: Beyond the Journey's End. The artist wrote, "I practiced drawing faces in a different angle but it looks kinda weird lol."
The drawing then went viral on platforms such as Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), with other artists taking the unusual angle as a challenge. This caused a flood of Frieren fan art in that specific face angle, with many artists praising SpaceDev1 for going out of their comfort zone to improve in art. Additionally, several artists also acknowledged that it's a tough angle to draw.
Many other artists also revealed their process, while many more shared tutorials on how to draw faces in challenging angles, such as the viral fan art.

"I'm happy that it inspired a lot of you to draw this apparently hard angle. I'm glad that you challenged yourself to do better than I did." SpaceDev1 also added a drawing of Fern and Stark next to Frieren to "complete the family."
The drawing became so viral that it caught the attention of Frieren's English voice actress, Mallorie Rodak, who, in return, used it as her profile picture on several of her social media accounts.
