Developing a distinctive personal art style creates new opportunities, gets your work recognized + identifiable, creates impact, builds relationships *and* can help you to make clearer decisions about where you’ll go next creatively.
The trouble is, when you start trying to figure out what that style could even look like for you, the possibilities can be paralyzing. There are so many things you like, but what parts can be your own without feeling like a copy of someone else?
In today’s vid, we’re taking 4 steps through a simple exercise where you’ll learn how to pull the exact qualities you like about different styles and then fuse them together to create something new, distinctive and truly your own. (this is also how I break creative block when I’m in a funk)
This exercise can be used with any art type (I use it for illustration, lettering and design) *and* it can be executed with anything – you can use it with a sheet of paper if that’s what you’ve got.
This has been a go-to of mine for years and now it’s yours, too ❤️
