- My first voice-over ever :S
Anyways, so I wanted to share my thoughts on creating or finding your own personal art style because I think this is such an important topic to so many artists.
Let me know in the comments what you struggle with the most!

That means your older sister is gorgeous omg
She’s gorgeous
im sorry but your profile picture made chuckle lol
Sources: Dude trust me.
Kïwï Your older sister is beautiful.
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. :)

@@ericanthonyj who are those artists that inspire you feom the video?
Such a pure and original speech ... I am really feeling optimistic now , never heard somebody saying so true !! About art style
Aww, thanks so much! Means a lot :D
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
Same
oml same
lmao same here too. such a struggle to not "copy" T_T
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?
Your voice is so soothing
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
...
This has been something I’ve struggled with for quite a while. The over worry of not having my own style
i was so frustrated about it back then, so i fully understand! just keep moving forward :D
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 :)
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
Can anyone tell me who the example artists in this video were? I really liked their styles
This character is stunning!
and your accent is really cute.
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
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 is so pretty and helpful thanks!
thxxx so much!
ericanthonyj of course!
😮
my life drawing professor made sure we learned all the realistic anatomy before she let us stylize anything
finally you have a yt channel! you're my favorite artist
no way :O thanks so much! It means a lot :)
“Style is you”, exactly!

Can someone explain this please
Joel Okoro do you know theodd1out?
@@Andrew-qd7zp No, I haven't heard of it.
Omg yes Lol!
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!
I finally found my artstyle!
And It's like a drawing of a 4yr old... ;)
Art is art
Picasso
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! 😊
Exactly! Glad it made sense :D
First of all, thank you for this advice. It really helped me a lot!
Second if all, this drawing is so good, holy cow...
I actually found this really helpful! Also, I absolutely adoree your work!
Thank you so so much! :D
Sinead Vaz hahahahahhaahahahahahahaha
I've been following you on instagram for a while now and I AM SO GLAD YOU HAVE A UA-cam 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 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'm happy you didn't give up! Keep doing what you love. You've now inspired others. The gift that keeps on giving
Your concept on style makes a lot of sense. It's the tried and true method of most Artist rather they know it or not🙌🏽💯
I just subscribed and thank you!! This is the best, I'm starting to study my fav artist (and you're one) and I have watched so many videos and it didn't help me but this help me so much!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! And I love your channel!!
I feel like my art style is either *"OH GOD WHAT IS THIS?!?"* or *"KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!"* 😂😂
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!
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!
This is so true and really helpful thank you for making this video! Keep up the good work!
Heyyy! Thanks so much :D
ur welcome!
Love your work! So glad I've found you on UA-cam too ❤❤ keep it up 🍹
Aww thx! More videos coming soon :D
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 ❣️
All i can say is THANK YOU!....I've been struggling with this for so long but watching you vid has made it vivid for me....
Awesome advice! Thank you!💖💖💖
anytime!
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
Your art piece gives me goosebumps! I love it! Thank you for sharing all those thoughts and knowledge!
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.
i found my art style. it was in a dumpster behind IHOB. a rat was pooping on it but i scared the rat away. thanks!
I love your artwork
Thanks :D
I really like the way concept artists do concepts were you can see the strokes
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
This was so helpful!!! You just earned a new subscriber!❤❤❤
yay! thanks a lot

I think i have my "style" for the line art at least, i can't for the love of god make it look professional though. When i color it's flat and boring
TRY THESE METHODS ua-cam.com/video/zbFgwf0jgjo/v-deo.html
It may be a bit late BUT i had the same problem! Now i use grey paper, draw with brown or black pencils and i don't colour them in (i only do that with my digital stuff) but i do use a white pencil for highlights and some darker colours or the same i used for the basic outline and use them for shadows! Not sure if it can help you though, just how i fixed my stuff :)
This actually was the advice I think I needed! Very inspirational and I love your style.
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
Great Advice 😉👏🏽👏🏽
thanks :)
This drawing kinda reminds me of Ross draws art style
{edit} omg u freakin hearted it aaaaaaa
I take that as a compliment :)
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!
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.
Im really struggling with my art style like i want to draw in a realistic way but my drawing comes out cartoon-ish or anime-ish and i watched many videos and im still struggling
same. but perhaps you should lean more towards the other side and see what happens.
Get tracing paper, and trace your favorite works. Keep at it everyday for 6 months. Then you'll have perfected it.
I was born in the dark, molded by it. Im inspired by my nightmares,
I love how you described this way of thinking within artist style, I’m 100% behind you in this theory
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this! Thanks for this advice so much! You have really opened my mind! I really really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been struggling for so long to find my own style. Thanks for this :D
Wow! I’m so envious of you. With only two videos you already have so many followers! That’s amazing for you! I myself use only Instagram at the moment but don’t have as many as you.
I definitely agree though. Your art should always grow, improve and with that your style will come naturally! Keep doing a great job! :) Maybe check out my instagram llesi.sea. Or not. Lol
Hi! Don't worry, if you keep posting good content, you will grow naturally on Instagram and other platforms :)
Hi, I will like to ask you, how did you get your signature, how can I do a signature that everyone can recognize, others can't take out and work with the art piece? like yours.
I really like your work and I hope you can answer my question.
Have a nice day.
Hi! Good question. My signature actually has a personal meaning to me which I can talk about in another video. If you want something similar, I would just try to find something that resonates with you and that fits your style. Then use it all the time, on all of your drawings!
ericanthonyj I will try to find my signature and will be waiting for your next video, thank you!
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!
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
This helped me a lot! I subscroobed
Subscroobed wasn't a mistake btw 😂
Kawaii Chan I will erase "subscribe" from my vocabulary and replace it with "subscroob"
Definitely subscroobing.

Dwight Edwards *scratches head*
Dwight Edwards ya mean *THICCCC*
But they look so beautiful though xD
Thicc lips
your advice is just so helpful for me right now, so grateful!!
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!
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! :)
you seem so wise and experienced, yet you look at yourself like you still have a long way to go and a lot to learn and ahh that's so inspiring
Watching you drawing and sharing own experience is oddly satisfying and relaxing somehow
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 :)
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.
This helped me so much!!! also that art piece was inspiring itself without the audio!! Thank you for helping us!!!
The mantra i get from this is "keeping pumping out artwork like a machine and never stop getting more popular"
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!!!!
bro i love your drawings. thank you for drawing more of the black sisters unlike most other artists on youtube. looks great!
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
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 !
Wow! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have been struggling with finding my style lately too. Your perspective really helps. Wish you success! :)
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!
Thanks for this advice! I never thought about studying a person's style, but it makes sense now that you've said it.
I love you're voice, firstly. Secondly, tysm for advice, and the speedpaint is awesome.
You might be the best explainer of art concepts I have ever heard!
Love this dude!!!!!! Awesome work. Thank you for inspiration
needed to hear this, thank you so much eric!
This is wonderful man, thanks so much. This video gives me a lot of clarity.
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!
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 👊
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
What a great video, love your thoughts on the topic and this portrait is simply beautiful x Definitely subscribed and can't wait to see your next videos :)
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
What a fantastic video! Your explanation is perfect and your work is lovely. Thank you for sharing your gift
I totally agree, I started to question if I really am an artist as well, but your video was great help, thank you!
bruhh thank you so much!! you really inspire me!! YOU NICE KEEP GOING!!
I really liked what you said and your art is beautifull. Definitely keep doing voice-overs it's really good! + Subbed
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.
This was Super cool!! I love it!
Amazing videos and advices. You're right about the style that should keep changing as we learn more and grow as an artist. Remaining constant would make us stagnant. Thankyou so much for sharing such thoughts 🤓👍🏼
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.
thank you..wise words. i think we carry the baton of ideas along in our artistic journeys...never stop running!
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.
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 actually really enjoyed this! Great video and thanks for the tips man! You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thx a lot! Glad ya liked the video and thx for subbing ;)
