Find your art style FAST ⚡️ an exercise that *actually* works
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2024
- Developing a distinctive personal art style creates new opportunities, gets your work recognized + identifiable, creates impact, builds relationships and can help you to make clearer decisions about where you’ll go next creatively.
The trouble is, when you start trying to figure out what that style could even look like for you, the possibilities can be paralyzing. There are so many things you like, but what parts can be your own without feeling like a copy of someone else?
In today’s vid, we’re taking 4 steps through a simple exercise where you’ll learn how to pull the exact qualities you like about different styles and then fuse them together to create something new, distinctive and truly your own. (this is also how I break creative block when I’m in a funk)
This exercise can be used with any art type (I use it for illustration, lettering and design) and it can be executed with anything - you can use it with a sheet of paper if that’s what you’ve got.
This has been a go-to of mine for years and now it’s yours, too ❤️

I've watched a ton of these videos about finding my style. This one is simple, straight forward, and to me, makes so much sense. I'm definitely going to try it. Thank you Teela for your unending ability to teach difficult things in a way that truly inspires me.
Aww thank you! 😘
I’ve watched and learned online from other artists since 2014 and you are the first artist to put it simply in a very understandable way to be inspired and make it your own! Thank you!
this is by far the most impactful video i've watched on "finding your own style". so much appreciated! i can't wait to try this out.
Aww thank you! That means a lot! 💕
This is exactly what I needed to hear, watch and do today is building a style of my own!! Thank you, Teela. You are a masterful teacher!!💖
I'm so glad it came at a good time! Thanks for watching!
This is a gem of a video to learn about our art styles! Thanks, Teela!
wow... 40 yrs ago in art class we had to choose a Master work to copy as perfect as we could. Then write up what we learned from it. I choose a Dali and realized a lot of his colors don't touch.. there is a paperthin line of background color between. But never thought to try that exercise in this way. Wish I had... this is perfect way to discover what you like and why!
Love that!
This was so helpful, and as others mentioned, a very unique and useful approach. Thank you!
Thank you, Teela. I will give this a try.
Thank you so much! This was great! 💕
Thank you for these actionable steps. Going to give this a try.🙌🏽
I LOVE, LOVE LOVE this exercise, I always knew I had to grab from inspiration from different artist that I admire, but I like this exercise which makes much more sense, and so much better to adapt and develop own style. I am going to try this. Thanks Teela!
So happy to hear it was helpful! Thanks so much for checking it out!
I absolutely love this! This was really inspiring thank you so much❤😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful exercise! I can't wait to try it! I really appreciate all of your generous help!
This is brilliant! It makes so much sense compared to so many other exercises I’ve tried! 🎉
This was so helpful and makes so much sense!! Thank you for sharing!
Well said! This is helpful and insightful. The video is clear and straightforward, gratefully appreciate seeing the creative process summarized and to discover our expression in the process, Teela. I’m enjoying seeing your personality infused in the summaries. Thank you so much 😊
This was great! One of the most helpful I’ve seen about how to find your style! Now I just have to break it down to a couple artists I truly love. Thanks Teela!
Really appreciated this very clear and new (to me) way of seeking a personal style. Thank you Teela!
You’re awesome Teela for making finding your style possible for creatives in easy, practical ways! I feel like these types of videos are the foundational principles of art and design! Thanks for stepping away, well kinda, from your iPad to bring us these lessons. Btw, your smile at the end is super cute. 😊
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Wow, this video is so useful! I love it! ❤
Such a cool exercise!! I needed help with finding my style. Thank you!
Such a nice inspiration, looking forward to enjoy the same tip as you have discovered so much incredible process, especially on the lettering elements! 😀
Great advice, I never would have thought to do this! Such a fun exercise! Thank you for the helpful tips!!! :D
Teela! I love this! I’m totally gonna try this! I’ve been following you for a while and I’m loving the new cinematic video style! 👌
Thanks so much! ❤️
This is genius! Thanks.
This was wonderful and straight forward! I need this to get out of a slump. Thank you!
Wow!!! This is genius! Thank you )))
That part where you put your iMac on the desk 😂👌🏼
I was really hoping someone would find that as funny as we thought it was! 😂
Wow, that was very helpful and nicely explained. Thank you!
this was awesome! can't wait to try!
Your tutorials over the last several years has taught me SO MUCH! I've finally landed on something I consider my own original style. This video has definitely arrived at the perfect time as I continue to really focus in on what I love to draw and how i love to draw it.
That makes me SO happy to hear! Thanks so much for being here! ❤️
So good! I realized I do exactly this, not necessarily to get to my own style, but to see what I got from what I watched. Sometimes, I don't have time or have the tools with me when I watch a video, so when I get to my ipad, I just try to replicate what I learned from memory! Thanks for this powerful video!
This is an awesome exercise! Can't wait to dig in and try it!
This is such a cool exercise! Can't wait to try it.
Very clever 🧠. I was already doing part of this process, unconsciously, until now. Sometimes I feel like copying a drawing that I like and I learn from it : what I like, what I don't, why this shape, this shadow, alternative ways to draw something... (as artists and more specifically painters have always learned throughout History). But I was missing the part where I have to choose something very different from what I want to paint! This is awesome and definitely a huge step forward, it makes this copying process open to my own creativity and defining my own style! Thank you Teela 💌
Thank you for always generously sharing your knowledge and skills with me. you are my master.
😊🙏
This video is so helpful, you are a fantastic teacher! Thank you!,
Gosh this was so great! I’ve watched your videos for years and have always been concerned I never knew “my style”, but this broke it down so perfectly. I absolutely loved the video format too. Thank you, Teela!
Thanks so much! 💕
This was amazing I’ve never learned so much anywhere else ! Thank you so much!
❤️
Teela, I was following your content very long time ago, and I'm so glad I've recently discovered you again! This video is a gem, you gave as an exercise, something we can actually do to find a style that we like. People usually say to just draw more, which doesn't help a lot if you are stuck doing the same thing.
So happy you're back! Thank you for the kind words and for watching! 💕
I love Oliver Jeffers books!
Thank u Tesla for showing how to incorporate and create our own style and not just copying the reference image.. ❤
This is a terrific direction
This is extremely valuable...BTW I did a lot of this steps taking your work as an inspiration in the last few years :-) and it helped me evolve my work
Aww thanks Lakshmi! ❤️🥰
Teela, you are truly an incredible artist and teacher. I can't thank you enough for your incredible videos and classes!!
Aww thank you so much! ❤️
That’s interesting. Thank you
!! So simple and such a great idea. I'm using this TODAY.
Yay! Thanks for watching! 💕
Lol'd at desktop. :)
Also, can't wait for next week's video!
Great lesson. Thank you. I think it’s time for me to hit the 2nd hand bookstore for references and inspiration.
This seemed to me to be a great idea. So without sneaking a peek onwards. The first illustrator that came into my mind was Aubrey Beardsley… who I much admired stylistically from when I was a teenager(and that is a very long time ago!) Help! I have just copied a figure in this style and then referred back to your tutorial to see what happens next. This will be a true challenge . But I have already learned a lot by trying to reproduce the original ink drawing to digital, not to mention the precision required. Now I must recreate from memory- wish me luck. Thank you very much for this original idea . I am sure it will be so worthwhile.
Thanks so much for trying it out! 💕
And it’s also important to not to be so deep in your universe not to realize that what you started with at the beginning of the exercise doesn’t look much different than the end result. The differences are too fastidiously detailed and undifferentiated by a general audience. This is why I recommend illustrators study graphic design. There’s a broader breadth of visual styles to pull from that when combined really kick up the personal uniqueness to stand out.
I'd love to develop my own style more but all I do is watch your flower tutorials 😉❤
😂 I actually LOL'd at this!
Thank you! This was very helpful and I can't wait to try it. Do you have any other flower reference books you would recommend?
The flower color guide has def been my fav but I also loooove a book called Cut Flower Garden (not necessarily a reference book, but I use it like one sometimes!): amzn.to/3wrFVvt
Do you have any additional books (beside the flower color guide) or do you have a section on your site with all the floral books your recommend (like you do with your lettering books)?
I’m super into florals and am looking for a good resource (or more!) that I can always have on hand and reference!
LOVING all your pattern resources and florals and videos, especially the pattern course!!
Aww thank you so much! And you've got great timing! Working on a vid of floral resource book recommendations now, will publish April 2nd! :)
@@EveryTuesday thank you!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!
