To actually “find” my artistic style, I think I’m going to need to first define what one’s artistic style is in the first place.
I have so many questions though, I don’t know where to start looking for answers, or at least clues of some kind.
Do we have one dominant artistic style all our life? Can we have several? Can they change over time? Do we just continue trying out new things until we hit something we love and that is unique? Then what? Practice and practice more to make it completely our own?
Maybe I should start by thinking about what I would like this goal to mean, and take it from there instead.
I would like:
- my style to be recognisable.
When you see something I’ve made, that you think “Oh that’s so and so’s style!” or “Hey, their copying thingy-bobs style, aren’t they?”
- my style to be unique.
It’s me. It’s a part of me. You can’t find exactly the same anywhere else.
- my style to come naturally to me without too much effort. xP
Oh and yet another question: does one’s artistic style differ depending on the medium used? Or is it something that’s consistent, no matter what tools are used?
My, oh my.. I sure have yet a long road to go before “finding my artistic style”!
