I like how you're so direct in telling us to study our favorite artists and even being creative is not enough to create our style. This helped me a lot more than the other artists that I've been following. They keep on telling us, "study this and that to be better" and it feels like the idea keeps on repeating itself. It's frustrating because not everyone can help everybody just like how you just did. So, thank you for the advice! It means a lot to me.
Hi! Thanks so much for your comment! I totally feel what you mean. It's easy to get lost and not knowing what to do to improve. I was stuck in that kind of situation before and it sucks. Sometimes it's best to just do a bunch of "meaningless" copies of your fav artists. I find this to be the quickest way to actually get better. Of course you still have to study the fundamentals (anatomy, color, perspective, composition) though to get an understanding of how things work. :)
its krazy u say this because i feel the same but i didnt even notice how calming it was as he was speaking. it was jsut so natural. there was no way i could fast forward or anything like that
I'm a self taught artist..mainly learned by looking at pictures and copying them basically (free hand)..I've realized I'm really struggling with drawing what I'm only seeing in my head and feel like I'm not a good artist because of that.. thank you for the video, gonna watch more to see if I can learn art being original lol...and loved what you created
Same oml I even get inspired seeing something I wanna draw and use some of it and basically copy it but seriously inspiration your a great artist!! Even if you can draw it too
i hope this isnt the only way youre studying. Just because youre "self taught" doesnt mean that you cant access the hundreds and thousands of free courses here on yt. Some channels id reccomend are Ethan Becker, Moderdayjames and proko for starters. They'll teach you a LOT trust me. Also i see this comment is pretty old, how much have you improved since you posted this?
I love what you said about this topic. I’ve struggled with the idea of finding my style so much and love your theory! Also what you said about continuing to change and develop... that really hit home! I think I was always telling myself that once I found my style that would be it and I’d be set... but you’re soooo right and made me think about this differently :)
I loved everything you said and you made me feel so much better with the direction I need to be going in. I have struggled so much with wanting to have my own style but every time I try to draw what’s in my mind it never comes out how I want. I can’t wait for more videos from you and your positivity!
Don't worry too much about it really! We all struggle from time to time and my drawings do not always turn out the way I expected them to (which doesn't mean they are bad, by the way!). ;)
KellieXLR Same But i kinda knew what style I want in my Drawings ✍️ I planned this Ahead in my Head What style I wanted I just need a push and a typed of my Ability. Manly I’m getting Art stuff Soon so I begin My Style of Art/Comic illustrates
Such great advice ...I always felt a bit bad for copying my favorite artists ...and using their pieces as reference but I do see that I always do add my own twist or interpretations when I’ve done this ...thanks !
I think I've replied to you on Instagram already (right?) lol :) But yes, copying isn't bad at all. It helps a lot and allows you to explore different ideas and techniques. Just don't upload the copies anywhere or if you do, then give proper credit to the original artist. :)
Yea you did and I appreciate it lol I wanted to comment on both platforms to make sure you get my appreciation...lol thanks for the response and advice ! Look forward to more videos
i felt like he was reading my own mind when he talked about doubts of becoming an artist i almost gave up trying i felt like i was forced to do it not like i wanted to do it i hope i can still be what i always wanted to be an artist, thank you !
This video literally changed my life. Like no joke, it made me think completely differently on stuff. Made me realize that all drawing is, is learning and non stop of it. You’re learning to get better and better. That’s it. BTW, you just got a sub!
This is very helpful. I’ve been struggling the last few months looking for my style of art, and I have been losing inspiration and not wanting to draw. This has helped a lot, thank you!
I've been through similar phases, sometimes for months. You just need to find something that inspires you and then start drawing again. I guess the biggest mistake we make is to overthink things.
ericanthonyj Thank you for responding! And your words did encourage me to get some pen and paper out. I will take your advice and get back to it. Thank you so much again!
I love the way you described about the evolution of style and changing along with you, since it's who you are, the reflections of your inspirations and values etc... Great advice! 😊
i definitely agree with what you said. what we create is a culmination of all the things that inspire and move us; and that ends up showing through our creative work. this is why a lot of the times the artist sometimes 'looks' like their work. their tendency to draw and colour in a certain way really shows through. i think the most important thing is to really study and understand the foundations of drawing (anatomy perspective, colour,etc) , and everything else will fall into place the more you absorb the things around you that take your interest. great video!
Your words are extremely true and they made me confident about finding my own. I watched this video about after a week it came out, and that day I made a plan to work hard on a drawing for a week, the next week a new drawing. After so many, I'll use all of the techniques I've learned in every piece of art and combine them to make something beautiful, no matter how long it took or what the style of it was. I'm so happy with my results and it's given me a new outlook on my art. I have what I've always strived, an art style. Thank you for sharing, your art is outstanding.
This video deserve a million views the drawing itself is pretty awesome its amazing, but what I love the most is all of those things he said it actually made me realize that there is no reason to stop specially in the things youve been working for years, all you need is to be is...to be realistic in your standards and your ideas, theres no need to rush. Thanks for this man!
I was having the same issue but after drawing some more I began noticing things that only come up in my pictures, I'm still a LONG way from being great, but that's what it's all about. I always say there's no such thing as a great artist because an artist is always on a mission to evolve. I had a hard time grasping that concept. I'm glad you got this message out because more young artists like me need to hear it. Everyone thinks it's all about speed and skill. A great artist is one who's always trying to learn and improve. You should never focus on trying to be good, but on the task at hand which is improving. Time and practice will carry you a long way.
I like the way you are just saying as artists we find our own way in art because many out there including myself have stuck on one art style which is leading me no where this message you have shared will truly make a difference in many artists because i have will find my way of art soon
I like that you lay down a darker base and build highlights and lighter flesh tones...I’m getting ready to make my first foray into digital art...this is definitely inspiring
Thanks for sharing your thoughts ! I like your style ! I ve been doing a research about imagination in art , for a university essay , and what i realise is that imagination is the ability to recall in your minds thinngs that you ve seen - observe ( it has to do with perception in general ) , and acording to that when you try to create something from imagination you actually combine things you ve seen and noticed before .Therefore what you said about studing your inspirations is true and important if you want to find a unique style , because by observing you add to your imagination , and there's no better way to observe from sketching and drawing !
I subscribed 3 minutes into this video. This was really refreshing since a lot of the videos about this topic tell you not to worry and dont talk about how to find your style. Instead they talk about how it will come to you, and you should just wait a year. Well, I’ve been drawing for 4 years now, and I still don’t have a style.(also I always wanted to study my inspirations, but I was always to lazy. Ever since watching this video I’ve more into it. Tahnks!
That was really helpful. I struggle with finding "my style" a lot and by this point wasn't even aware of my direct inspirations. I tried too hard to "just do my own thing", which never felt satisfying. Really lifted my spirits, as I also thought that I am maybe just not cut out for art in general. That may really be the piece that was missing for me all along. Thank you so much! :)
This is so helpful I’m literally in such a bad mindset right now with my art like my style changes so dramatically from one piece to another that I feel like I’m never gonna have a consistent look at all but this gives me so much hope for myself thank you
I think you are spot on with your views on finding your "originality or style" nothing is original anymore so your suggestion of looking at other artists that inspire you and merging them together to create something fresh is an amazing idea.
I just really want to thank you for sharing with us your experience and seriously, I'm so blessed to have found you in my studies. You just kind of a very confident person with a strong spirit when its all about your art and your learning processes. You really touched me and also encourage me to feel that I'm totally capable to have my own style by working through what really inspires me, and more important, to not feel guilty or a huge failure. Thank you so much!
i've been in the search of my style for almost 5 years.. i can never settle in only one and im really frustrated about the inconsistensy.. it just feels like i will never find it and will keep changing everytime im glad i found this video, it inspired me to keep going and work hard, it meant a lot to me :) thank you!
Lately i been struggling with my art style and feel like i can do so much more. I have even been hating it a lot more often and I wanna draw something cool but then realize my art style just won’t fit it. You helped me realize that it’s okay to study other artist art. You don’t say it’s copying which i hate a lot and instead you say it’s a learning process to help you find your style. I may have to start doing this so i can feel better about my art.
I just bought a tablet to make digital art style and everything is so new to me. But I still had everything to start drawing and making everything shine. But the moment I took that pen and got ready to draw I couldn't... I had no idea what to draw or how to draw it. Now I am stuck in one place, maybe learning about what I am working with and what kind of inspiration I should take up first. I am happy that I am not the only one who feels like that and I see your drawings now and I must say that it's beautiful and I hope that I come to a level like yours. Thanks, you just inspired me.
very inspiring!!! i'm always drawing on all my school notes and its seems like i'm starting to develop a style, thank you! ive been drawing for 6 years and i never could come up with one
I've been following you on instagram for a while now and I AM SO GLAD YOU HAVE A RUclips CHANNEL NOW!!!! 😄 I love your art! 💕It inspires me to learn and try new things.😊 I agree that an art style shouldn't be an end goal for artists, it should be an endless journey.
This video has really put me in a better artistic mood. I've been in such a art slump that I have honestly stopped drawing for the last year. I didn't know what style to go about.
This rings true for me! Over time we subconciously join the dots when imitating the influences we love. Plus it keeps practice fun; perseverance is the key to success.
I was looking for RUclips person like you. You speak about art process, but not craft way but spirit way. About social media in non-marketing but sharing context. Thank you.
Definitely parallel with how I proceed and view things. Cool to this kind of of independent confirmation. Personally I would like to hear you talk about your references, looking or the ones you showed here in depth and what you liked or didn't.
Listening to you and bobby chiu’s videos is worth so much more than just listening to music when im in class 😭 you guys are dropping more knowledge than a rapper dropping disses 🙌
Ive only recently started drawing and I’m 16, I feel so behind but still so optimistic that I’ll make great art sooner or later! This video helped a lot since I’ve also been searching for a “unique” art style :) great video!
I was frustrated and called it quits 10 years ago because i can't find my own style. Couple of weeks ago i've decided to try again and then saw this video. Thank you for the tips and inspiration.
omg, I never thought to do studies of my favourite artists work to develop my own style before.. that is something I hit a wall with daily and blank sketchbooks only add to that foreboding. I cant stop buying them tho haha. Eyes are now opened, so thank you~!
Very informative I’m in the same boat and went from sketching/painting to photography. I’m now looking to get back into illustrating. I feel your combined inspiration approach is spot on I think this will be great for me I’m excited to try it out. Thank you.
I already have a pretty defined art style but i freaked out when i saw you started a channel, ive been following your instagram for so long!! So excited to see more content
i love that piece and thank you very much. i really see myself in everything you said. i actually gave up at some point. but i had someone who saw my talent and encouraged me to keep going.
Thank you! This video helped me so much. I have the exact same feelings about not being creative enough for being an artist. I will definitely try these tips out.
Wow...your video is the only one that has helped me! Many others said that it’ll just come naturally but I felt that you gave a sense of guidance on how to actually achieve trying to find your art style. I never thought to analyze or study the many artists I’ve admired & taking what I like to create something new. Thanks sooo much ❣️
OMG I've been following your instagram account for a while and I never knew you had a youtube channel. Your art is such an inspiration and I agree I've went through the exact same feelings you went through and I'm still kinda going through them. There is a thin line between stealing art and taking inspiration from a certain artist or more. And I honestly believe after real life references comes the main inspirations and at times you could learn more from someones art then from real life. But I do believe that developing a style definitely needs real life inspiration for it to have a sense of originality. Because at the end of the day art and "sketching" in particular is nothing but our own interpretation our environment and further more it's also our own way of manipulating line work into visualizing a dimensional form. Which in turn becomes unique to others and they deem it as a so called "style".
Your speech truly inspires me as a fellow artist especially the fact that I'm just starting in my college journey and I have some doubts in me as well but thanks for those wonderful words cauz it gave me alot of motivation to move forward and grow 🎨 Keep it up 👊
It feels so good to hear someone with the same questions that I have. Thank you for your video, I really enjoyed it. I feel like I am on the right path, it comfort me a little :)
Great advice! I have been struggling with this for a long time also, and as I keep creating, I've come to realize that exactly what you've said, is true for me. Your art is awesome!
I clicked on the video because of the art in the thumbnail, specifically the way the locks were colored. But your approach on finding your art style is really good and it’s more relaxing, easygoing, and you can actually have fun while doing it instead of stressing. Could you do a tutorial on coloring different kinds of hairstyles like locks, straight hair, poofy hair, etc?
Great information. Agreed on adapting and implementing other artists styles to eventually create your own. I see that happening in my own work. Agreed also on constantly growing. Very important.
This was a perfect explanation for me thank you for sharing. I really couldn't figure out how to explain my art style and you explained what I couldn't put it in words perfectly.
I really need to take this to heart ! Everything you said is just so relevant, especially about everything already having been done before. I used to think that in order to stand out I'd have to start drawing my eyes upside down or something (might actually be cool who knows 😆). This reminded me that I should just go with whatever flow I'm feeling that day and whatever inspires me at that exact moment, and just go from there
This is 100% true, in the end Art always inspires Art... by copying and bringing so much influences from different artists in the end you get a new result totally new and totally yours. The combination is unique. And this applies for every form of art.
I found my style by itself and by mostly accident. Like some, I aimed for an anime style too much as a middle school student. This didn't help me at all because I set the bar too high for myself to draw a mainstream style. I decided to drop it like you which let me have time to think and find other styles myself. One day I drew an eye in my own simplistic style. From there, I shaped all my other drawings around it. I have changed so much in a short time, no, improved since the beginning of the year.
Great advice. I heard something very similar when you design a character. After you design a character, you should redraw it several more times. The more you draw it, the more stream line the design gets and the better the design gets. Thank you for making the video 😊
I agree on everything you say c: at first I was so frustrated at how my art changes all the time and people kept asking me "did you really drew this ? but it looks so different." But now I feel good about my experimental stuff. It's just pure fun to learn and try new things and put everything together in one piece. And some of my friends made me realize that I already got my " own style™ " since they always recognize my drawings and know it's me - no matter how experimental it was. Thanks for your video and your art is amazing!
As I'm keen to build on myself, I appreciated your learning tips...eg ... Study 5 favourite artists, style evolves with the passage of time...thank you
Very true about evolving, I’m self taught, I’ve been drawing since I was a little girl and tips and things you pick up here and there do help change your drawing style. I started from round Faces to structured faces from looking at faces in books, the T.V. Guide and also Conan the Barbarian Comic magazines. I’m still learning 🙂
Im struggling with my art style because it doesn't satisfy me. I kept on changing it by bits and its so hard. But right now, i think i can come up with a new strategy thanks to your teachings. Thank you omfg!
Im not lookimg for my art style i just really really really loved your art in the thumbnail
Ha, that's awesome! Thanks :)
me!!! lmao i saw the dreads and nose ring and ran
samee oml i was like “what the hell hes amazing”
same here . i love when people branch out and draw POC :')

I totally agree, I started to question if I really am an artist as well, but your video was great help, thank you!
I finally found my artstyle!
And It's like a drawing of a 4yr old... ;)
Art is art

I've been following you on instagram for a while now and I AM SO GLAD YOU HAVE A RUclips CHANNEL NOW!!!! 😄 I love your art! 💕It inspires me to learn and try new things.😊 I agree that an art style shouldn't be an end goal for artists, it should be an endless journey.
This video has really put me in a better artistic mood. I've been in such a art slump that I have honestly stopped drawing for the last year. I didn't know what style to go about.
This rings true for me! Over time we subconciously join the dots when imitating the influences we love. Plus it keeps practice fun; perseverance is the key to success.
I was looking for RUclips person like you. You speak about art process, but not craft way but spirit way. About social media in non-marketing but sharing context. Thank you.
I love the edge lighting on your character.
bro i love your drawings. thank you for drawing more of the black sisters unlike most other artists on youtube. looks great!
Watching you drawing and sharing own experience is oddly satisfying and relaxing somehow
thank you..wise words. i think we carry the baton of ideas along in our artistic journeys...never stop running!
Definitely parallel with how I proceed and view things. Cool to this kind of of independent confirmation. Personally I would like to hear you talk about your references, looking or the ones you showed here in depth and what you liked or didn't.
Listening to you and bobby chiu’s videos is worth so much more than just listening to music when im in class 😭 you guys are dropping more knowledge than a rapper dropping disses 🙌
Ahaha thx yo! Bobby's vids are dope, I agree!
Ive only recently started drawing and I’m 16, I feel so behind but still so optimistic that I’ll make great art sooner or later!
This video helped a lot since I’ve also been searching for a “unique” art style :) great video!
That's so cool I definitely thought I saw a bit of Loish in your art, and then you put her as an example of your fave artists! Fantastic video!!!!
I was frustrated and called it quits 10 years ago because i can't find my own style. Couple of weeks ago i've decided to try again and then saw this video. Thank you for the tips and inspiration.
I love how you found your style by using your favorite artists to drive your inspiration and skills ♡ wonderful advice ♡♡
omg, I never thought to do studies of my favourite artists work to develop my own style before.. that is something I hit a wall with daily and blank sketchbooks only add to that foreboding. I cant stop buying them tho haha. Eyes are now opened, so thank you~!
Very informative I’m in the same boat and went from sketching/painting to photography. I’m now looking to get back into illustrating. I feel your combined inspiration approach is spot on I think this will be great for me I’m excited to try it out. Thank you.
I already have a pretty defined art style but i freaked out when i saw you started a channel, ive been following your instagram for so long!! So excited to see more content
i love that piece and thank you very much. i really see myself in everything you said. i actually gave up at some point. but i had someone who saw my talent and encouraged me to keep going.
Thank you! This video helped me so much. I have the exact same feelings about not being creative enough for being an artist. I will definitely try these tips out.
I’ve been saying this all the time! I say this to other aspiring artists and teaching other people on how to be creative. Great video and advice!
Thanks for this advice! I never thought about studying a person's style, but it makes sense now that you've said it.
Great video man. I’ve been looking for answers when it comes to style. Thank you!!
Welcome. I hope it'll help :)
Your art piece gives me goosebumps! I love it! Thank you for sharing all those thoughts and knowledge!
Wow...your video is the only one that has helped me! Many others said that it’ll just come naturally but I felt that you gave a sense of guidance on how to actually achieve trying to find your art style. I never thought to analyze or study the many artists I’ve admired & taking what I like to create something new. Thanks sooo much ❣️
OMG I've been following your instagram account for a while and I never knew you had a youtube channel. Your art is such an inspiration and I agree I've went through the exact same feelings you went through and I'm still kinda going through them. There is a thin line between stealing art and taking inspiration from a certain artist or more. And I honestly believe after real life references comes the main inspirations and at times you could learn more from someones art then from real life. But I do believe that developing a style definitely needs real life inspiration for it to have a sense of originality. Because at the end of the day art and "sketching" in particular is nothing but our own interpretation our environment and further more it's also our own way of manipulating line work into visualizing a dimensional form. Which in turn becomes unique to others and they deem it as a so called "style".
Your speech truly inspires me as a fellow artist especially the fact that I'm just starting in my college journey and I have some doubts in me as well but thanks for those wonderful words cauz it gave me alot of motivation to move forward and grow 🎨 Keep it up 👊
It feels so good to hear someone with the same questions that I have. Thank you for your video, I really enjoyed it. I feel like I am on the right path, it comfort me a little :)
Great advice! I have been struggling with this for a long time also, and as I keep creating, I've come to realize that exactly what you've said, is true for me. Your art is awesome!
dig the info in this one, find 5 artists, study them, style doesn't come overnight.
i really like your style of art bro. as a person who hasnt really picked up a pen in ages and is tryign to get back to it this was very inspiring
Omg your voice is so calming. I went to sleep while watching because of your voice. But this seems like this will work, I will try.
I clicked on the video because of the art in the thumbnail, specifically the way the locks were colored. But your approach on finding your art style is really good and it’s more relaxing, easygoing, and you can actually have fun while doing it instead of stressing. Could you do a tutorial on coloring different kinds of hairstyles like locks, straight hair, poofy hair, etc?
Great information. Agreed on adapting and implementing other artists styles to eventually create your own. I see that happening in my own work. Agreed also on constantly growing. Very important.
This was a perfect explanation for me thank you for sharing. I really couldn't figure out how to explain my art style and you explained what I couldn't put it in words perfectly.
The mantra i get from this is "keeping pumping out artwork like a machine and never stop getting more popular"
I really need to take this to heart ! Everything you said is just so relevant, especially about everything already having been done before. I used to think that in order to stand out I'd have to start drawing my eyes upside down or something (might actually be cool who knows 😆). This reminded me that I should just go with whatever flow I'm feeling that day and whatever inspires me at that exact moment, and just go from there
I like the simplicity of your videos and how you explain. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You just influenced in my style.
I can spot that Loish influence a mile away because I've also been studying her process for years haha love it!
This is 100% true, in the end Art always inspires Art... by copying and bringing so much influences from different artists in the end you get a new result totally new and totally yours. The combination is unique. And this applies for every form of art.
This helped me so much!!! also that art piece was inspiring itself without the audio!! Thank you for helping us!!!
You might be the best explainer of art concepts I have ever heard!
I love you're voice, firstly. Secondly, tysm for advice, and the speedpaint is awesome.
I found my style by itself and by mostly accident. Like some, I aimed for an anime style too much as a middle school student. This didn't help me at all because I set the bar too high for myself to draw a mainstream style. I decided to drop it like you which let me have time to think and find other styles myself. One day I drew an eye in my own simplistic style. From there, I shaped all my other drawings around it. I have changed so much in a short time, no, improved since the beginning of the year.
Omg ... you just opened up my eyes so much.. I have so much more of a different perspective now ... thank you so much for making this video!
you opened my eyes so much they might just roll out, this video is extremely useful and your art is truthfully amazing
Thx! Made my day ;)
there's no need! thank you too :D
Great advice. I heard something very similar when you design a character. After you design a character, you should redraw it several more times. The more you draw it, the more stream line the design gets and the better the design gets. Thank you for making the video 😊
I agree on everything you say c: at first I was so frustrated at how my art changes all the time and people kept asking me "did you really drew this ? but it looks so different." But now I feel good about my experimental stuff. It's just pure fun to learn and try new things and put everything together in one piece. And some of my friends made me realize that I already got my " own style™ " since they always recognize my drawings and know it's me - no matter how experimental it was.
Thanks for your video and your art is amazing!
This actually was the advice I think I needed! Very inspirational and I love your style.
I feel like my art style is either *"OH GOD WHAT IS THIS?!?"* or *"KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!"* 😂😂
As I'm keen to build on myself, I appreciated your learning tips...eg ... Study 5 favourite artists, style evolves with the passage of time...thank you
Very true about evolving, I’m self taught, I’ve been drawing since I was a little girl and tips and things you pick up here and there do help change your drawing style. I started from round
Faces to structured faces from looking at faces in books, the T.V. Guide and also Conan the Barbarian Comic magazines. I’m still learning 🙂
Im struggling with my art style because it doesn't satisfy me. I kept on changing it by bits and its so hard. But right now, i think i can come up with a new strategy thanks to your teachings. Thank you omfg!
So helpful! Ive been drawing for 6 years and I’ve never really held on to an art style, until now! Thanks! 🙏🏾
