Find your art style FAST ⚡

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 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 ❤️ ✅ What We’ll Build by Oliver Jeffers

These 7 books truly helped me to become a better floral illustrator and I’ve reached for them constantly over the years when I’ve needed inspiration or a good reference photo that didn’t come from Pinterest 🙃 In the vid, I’ve included overviews of each along with what I use them for the most. I also included a bunch of flip throughs, so get ready for...
I’m loving our warm sunny days in the south lately, which has subconsciously prompted me to bring punchier colors into my work. That led to a bunch of new color palettes, so I wanted to share some of them this week! I’d consider these all early to mid summer-ish. Still a few pastel colors, but def heading into those bright/more saturated hues.I put together a full blog post this week that’s filled with color tips, summer art doodle ideas, plus some past palette downloads, too!
