Hi!
Nana here.
In this video, I'll be giving you tips
on how to find and create
your own Art Style!
All of us want to have our own style.
Like when you look at an art,
you could already tell
whose Art Style that belongs to
or what Style it reminds you of.
Creating your own Art Style
doesn’t actually come in a second.
Nothing is immediately originally yours
when you try something
for the first time.
We will always need to look for
inspiration in order for us
to fuel our creative minds.
I started with a bunch of
different Art Styles when I was younger.
I’ve been doing Digital Art since 2013.
And it was only late 2018 when
I found a style I could consider my own.
I even changed it up again around 2020.

In order for us to find our style,
we need to set a goal,
find our motivations and inspirations
in creating it.
I have 5 steps in order for you
to achieve your own Art Style.
Step 1
is Find a Purpose.
What fascinates you about Art?
What made you like Art?
What do you find interesting about it?
Is it the way they draw the characters?
The colors? The style of the eyes?
Understanding what makes you like Art
will inspire you in being able to
create your own style.
What do you want to improve in your Art?
What do you think is something you want
to be able to get better at?
Anatomy? Drawing eyes? Drawing hair?
Most of the time,
we can have a favorite part to draw
when we are working on
creating our own style.
What do you want to achieve in
pursuing a Style?
What is the reason
you want to have an Art Style?
Is it so people can recognize
it is your own style?
There are many reasons
why people find a Style.
It could be because this represents them
as who they are.
Their choice of colors,
the type of aesthetics
they use in their art
and the way they draw them.
Number 2.
Follow a bunch of Artists
for Inspiration.
One of the best ways for us
to get inspired
is having our feed full of Artworks.
It could be on social media
but one of my favorite sites
to browse them are Twitter,
Instagram, Pixiv,
Artstation and Deviantart.
The more you see them, the more you
become motivated in creating one.
At times, you will even be able to
see their achievements
and this fuels your motivation even more
to create your own Art Style!
Number 3.
Find an Artist whose Art you really like
and follow their footsteps.
Having an Idol,
someone we really look up to,
can help in motivating us
to create our own style as well.
It would be even better if
that Artist does studies,
tutorials and streams too.
This would make it easier for you to
understand their process in doing art.
I too followed the footsteps
of certain Artists.
It helped me understand art better
and realize what my strengths
and weaknesses are in drawing.
Remember.
Don’t trace their work
and claim it as your own.
Just use them for studies.
Number 4.
Explore new styles with other Artists.
Of course we can’t just focus on
one artist to follow
when creating our style.
That limits our creativity.
We need to look for a bunch of
other Artists as well to follow!
After you have completely understood
your favorite artist’s way of doing art,
then you can look for more artists
to find as inspiration.
Because if you only focused on
copying one Art style,
then your art is not really recognized
as your own anymore.
When people see your art,
they would end up recognizing the artist
you took inspiration from.
No one wants to be a complete copy
of someone else.
And, Number 5.
Combine all these into one
to create your own Art Style.
Combining all these styles
we have learned from is the key
to creating your own Art Style.
It could be the coloring style
of this one artist,
the lineart style of this other artist,
the way this other artist draws eyes
and so on!
This is all a combination of your
favorite aesthetics in your own art.
You can even include
your favorite things in real life.
Like your type of fashion,
your favorite color theme and so on!
Also, appreciate the artists
that helped you in your art journey.
If they have helped you in improving,
be sure to tell others about them too!
We should learn to come back to
our roots and where we all came from.
Be thankful to the people
who have helped you in getting far.
Because I’m sure they’d be happy to know
they have helped you in improving!
All these take a while to happen.
And remember not to rush the process.
Just take it slow.
Once you find your style,
you don’t even need to stick to only
doing that, you can still create more!
Don’t limit yourself
because there is still a lot to learn.
As an artist or creator,
we never stop learning new things!
That’s it for the bonus class!
Good luck and have fun with
creating your own Art Style!
