SEARCH FOR YOUR OWN STYLE

When we acquire the necessary basis for a particular technique, the next stage is an in-depth search for ourselves and our voice in the art world. Everyone wants to convey their thoughts and feelings in a unique and individual way. But how to do it?

I draw, but what do I need in order to transform it into my technique, and not copy an existing one? Of course, everyone has different requests: someone just needs to draw for their own pleasure, and someone does not stop there, and continues to look for themselves In this article I will give you tips on the basis of which you can find your own unique pictorial language.

First and most important: search. It is not for nothing that they say - someone who is looking will always find. And it really is. Ask yourself what you like and what you don't. Which artists inspire you? What kind of music do you like? How do you speak and carry yourself into this world? What do you feel and what are your most striking character traits? The answers to all these questions may be the keys because they are worth paying attention to. Just understand: the way you see, think and feel is not done by anyone in this world. And this is your uniqueness! This is where your style exists. If you listen to yourself more and search more, you will find it. This was the case with me, and with many of my students.
⠀
Second, no less important: do not copy one, copy several! Yes, it didn't seem to be right. The secret lies in not giving yourself up to the absorption of only one visual style or artist, but studying many at once and at the same time. So you don't risk being accused of plagiarism. Combining the pictorial styles of different authors - you are groping yourself. But this is only possible if these techniques really find a deep resonance in you.
⠀
And last: connect. Combine everything you like together! Try to put in one picture everything that you like point-by-point from other authors, and don't be afraid to experiment! Fear and doubt are the main enemies of the artist. Be lighter and give yourself time. Practice is needed in everything, and finding yourself is no exception.
