Every day is best, but a few times a week is perfect. If you only do art a couple of times a month or less, you won’t see much progress. If you are only doing art in your head (chronic procrastinators know what I’m talking about!), your style won’t develop. Working on your technical skills regularly will introduce you to new perspectives and style paths.

Take little style elements from any source you can. You can see their influences in my work, but you can also see that my style does not look exactly like theirs. In college, I fell in love with Alphonse Mucha and Art Nouveau. More recently, when I got into fluid painting, I was naturally inspired by Emma Lindstrom. When I first started drawing as a teen, I was obsessed with the art of Brandon Boyd. To this day, I have to credit him for my obsession with line work. If you are drawn to a certain artist’s work, it’s probably stimulating part of your style. The honest artist answers, “I steal them.” So, if you are currently looking for your style, I’ve created a worksheet to help you brainstorm and collect your thoughts as you read this post.Įvery artist gets asked the question “Where do you get your ideas?” There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this! It takes time and a lot of work. When an artist jumps around between many subjects, or when their pieces are lined up together and appear as if a they all could come from different artists–they haven’t quite figured out their style yet. I can always tell when someone is still in the exploratory phase of their art.
