š®Ā Summary (TL;DR)
āWhere do I find my art style?ā
Almost every beginner poses this question.
But hereās the twist:
You donāt find it like a lost teasureā¦
You slowly developĀ it.
Letās make that clear.
š¬ Why Beginners Feel Confused About Art Style?
When observing other animators, you notice one thing:
Their drawings look unique.
You believe:
āI want a look like that.ā
So you start researching.
Yet nothing seems like yours.
And that gets you frustrated.
š§ What Is āArt Styleā?
(In Simple Words)
Art style is merely:
The way you draw things repeatedly.
Thatās all.
Itās your routines.
- How you draw faces
- How you shape bodies
- How simple or detailed you keep things
It is not something special you obtain.
It is something you repeat.
ā The Biggest Myth:
Many starters assume:
āI need to find my art style first⦠then I will start drawing.ā
Thatās backwards.
You do not discover your style first.
You find it after drawing a lot.
š± How Style Actually Develops?
Your style grows graually.
Like this:
āļø 1. You Draw More:
At the beginning, everything feels random.
Thatās normal.
You are just gaining knowledge.
š 2. You Repeat Certain Choices:
Without noticing, you start engaging in activities again:
- You simplify the shapes
- You prefer certain looks
- You draw eyes a certain way
These small choices repeat.
Thatās your style forming.
šØ 3. You Try Different Ideas:
You might:
- Try different shapes
- Experiment with looks
- Change how you draw hair
Some things feel right.
Some do not.
That is part of the procedure.
š§© 4. It Begins Feeling āYoursā:
After some time, you obeserve:
āThis looks like something I made.ā
That is your own style.
Not perfect. Not conclusive.
But absolutely yours.
š Is It Okay to Copy?
Affirmative.
At the unitial stage, replicating is normal.
You see something appeals to youā¦
You try to sketch it out.
Thatās how you learn.
But keep in mind:
- Do not stay stuck imitating endlessly
- Try to understand what you like
- Slowly change things your way
- And try making out of memory
Copy -> Understand -> Alter.
That is how growth happens.
šÆ There Is No āPerfectā Style:
This is extremely important.
No correct way.
No ācorrect look.ā
Some styles are:
- Simple
- Funny
- Realistic
- Detailed
- Adorable
All of them are legit.
Your job is not to achieve perfection.
Your role is to be consistent with yourself.
š A Final Thought:
You already have the start of your own style.
Still at this moment.
Every time you sketchā¦
You make small decisions.
Those choices matter.
And as time goes byā¦
They become your identity.
So do not stress about discovering it.
Simply keep drawing.
It will locate you instead.
