As a person who likes to draw, I find it difficult to find an art style that I’m comfortable with and can work on throughout…life. But don’t worry, I already have found mines… so I’m going to share steps for finding your own art style.
- Draw what you would normally draw or what you can draw that is easy and fast.
- Once you’ve done that, try building on it so for example: you draw a stickman. You improve on that by adding an actual body instead of a stick (maybe a rectangular or square shaped body).
- Now that you’ve improved on it, try looking at a reference photo of the thing that you were trying to draw ( in this case, it would be a person). Try replicating the reference photo onto your drawing. For example, you would try doing a type of pose for your stickman.
- If you are satisfied with your drawing, try to draw something that you weren’t drawing for example: if you were drawing a boy, try drawing a girl. Draw the… something without looking back at your previous drawing. I struggle with this a lot and it is really complicated but it’s worth it in the end.
If the steps above didn’t help you guys, one thing that I do is literally watching YouTube tutorial videos. But it doesn’t just end there. I would watch them and try to draw them; then, I would see the parts that I couldn’t do and the parts that I can do. The parts I can do I would keep in mind, the parts that I can’t do I would try to replace them with other of my favorite artist’s styles. So I would blend the art styles of my favorite artists and basically make them my own style.
That’s it for today’s blog!!! I hope this helps you find your art style and motivate you to keep on doing art. BAIIIII!!!!🤗🤗🤗
