🎨 Common Names for This Illustration Style

– Anime-style art:
The most common label. It refers to the Japanese animation-inspired way of drawing characters — big expressive eyes, stylized hair, delicate linework, and often pastel or vibrant coloring.
– Manga-style illustration:
Similar to anime, but specifically tied to Japanese comics. Many Lolita-themed drawings use manga-style proportions and shading.
– Chibi art (sometimes):
If the figures are drawn in a super-deformed, small, cute way with oversized heads, that’s called chibi.
– AI-generated anime art:
If the images look like anime but were created with AI tools, people often call them “AI anime-style illustrations” or “AI manga-style art.”

✨ How It Relates to Lolita Fashion

– Lolita communities often use anime/manga-style illustrations to represent the fashion in a whimsical, fantasy-like way.
– These drawings are not the fashion itself, but a **visual interpretation** — sometimes fan art, sometimes promotional art by brands.
– The style emphasizes cuteness and elegance, which aligns perfectly with Lolita aesthetics.

So, to answer directly: the style is usually referred to as anime-style illustration or manga-style art*. If it’s AI-made, people add “AI illustration” as a qualifier.
