Hey guys! A question:

When did you find your art style? And how was it?

Share your experiences, maybe this can post help who is trying to create one! 🖤

Last year! I did a lot of realism and got bored of it so I decided to simplify my work. I removed/changed the stuff I hated drawing, and kept sketching with references till I found a style I liked. I'm still developing it though!

I think it's good to experiment and try something out of your comfort zone :)
Whenever I think I've found my style it changes lmao, I thought I had it down but then it changed drastically lmao
I feel like it’s just a constant process, there isn’t really an end point
I think no one finds their style. You just have one. Or more. So never
No idea, I'm still figuring out my style and improving upon it 😁
I still don't think I really have one.. I can be very inconsistent but I'm sure a style just comes with time and practice
There shouldn't be a moment you "find" your style. It happens naturally over time. Trying to seek it out or force it will hold you back as an artist.
Fuck art Styles all my homies draw different everytime they hold a pencil
Honestly, I’m still struggling to find mine.
How I got my current art style though, I met one of my now best friends in freshman year of high school. I ended up liking her art a lot, and basically copied how she drew? Don’t mistake that as tracing, by the way. I watched how she drew, and I tried drawing the same way she drew.
Eventually, I found a style that I liked, and through the years my art style just evolved.
My professor always says your style is inside you and it comes out as you grow as an artist. This was in the context of fine art, though, specifically watercolor landscapes.
I didn’t find it until I was about 26 which was long after art school and after I had been working in the industry for a few years. I’d say don’t try so hard to find it. Pull from the things that excite you and what your natural abilities are. Where those two things collide is usually where it is.
I jusr play, I don't think you should stick to one style.

I recommend this video though https://youtu.be/Fbo6ZAuF914
Honestly I think it just kinda happens, I know that there were specific people who's art styles I admired that I wanted to aspire to, but when you're working on your own skills and keeping those artists in mind at the same time then you're own artstyle will eventually come to you and even if it doesnt look like what you were originally going for, you're still somewhat proud/satisfied since you can see that you're getting better
I think I’m still finding my art style, or at least fine-tuning it. But I really FOUND my style when I started practicing techniques that I was genuinely comfortable with, or what I found natural. I always love art styles that are a bit more detailed than mine, or look like they were painted and use chunky coloring, but I don’t like to spend days at a time on the same piece, so it was important I stay in that comfort zone 🤷🏽‍♀️ otherwise i lose focus.
