How I found my Art Style fast doing only 1 thing (took me 4 months)

I watched many videos, tried many different methods but was left frustrated.
Then I found my art style but the journey was filled with frustration and self-deprecation. It was not until I switched to a better approach that I finally found a creative direction that allowed me to both improve my art and enjoy creating art again.
How to find your own art style anyway?
Finding and developing your art style into something recognisable seems hard, sometimes impossible, doesn't it?
What did the other artists do to find their own signature style? Do they have a hidden artistic talent that you don't? Maybe you should give up art altogether?
Finding your artistic style is difficult because making art is about making choices. Boiling down all the million things that make you who your are into only a few strokes.
And those few strokes (maybe not that few, but you get the idea…) need to reflect exactly who you are, to represent your entire identity.
How in the world do we do that? How do we even boil our entire lives, likes, dislikes and all that come with them, down into one single unique direction that would become your style?
This is exactly what I'm sharing in this video.
Out of pure frustration and desperation, I accidentally found the way to my own creative direction that I am so happy to explore and keep developing!
This is not some groundbreaking out-of-this world advice, but it did come from my own experience, and tremendously helped me finally be happy with my art.
Today, I feel more creative and believe in myself more than ever. I work on developing and enriching my style daily, and I continue to learn new skills at the same time. Because yes, that can be done together!
I get to paint what I want, without feeling bad about myself or my skills - without thinking I have to wait to be good enough.
I hope this video will help you in your own creative journey!

Thank you so much for watching and liking this video! Please don't hesitate to subscribe to my little channel 😇I promise I will strive to always create better and better and better content!
This was such a great video because it reminds me to keep it simple and what I am looking for is right under my nose! thank you for sharing, p.s I liked the light it made me feel like I was chatting with you in your living room. What you had so say was so valuable I didn’t even notice! 😊 instant subscribe, also love love your style ❤
Thank YOU for doing what you do!🎉
my problem is i'm so inspired by SO MANY THINGS. By the way, cats and women and flowers is such a cool combo!!!!
Would a video about ideas prioritisation be useful? 🤔
Maybe by drawing one of those many things you’re interested in each day, you’ll find you really like your outlining. Or maybe you really like a specific color scheme. Maybe certain character features commonly occur in your art. Etc!
That reminds me of something I'm doing. There are so many artists and illustrators out there whose art styles I like that I started making a list of their names and/or social media usernames, that would then allow me to privately rank them based on how much I like their art style and how close it is to the art style I want to develop. I'm doing it on Milanote, where I would then create boards for each artist that would contain some information and examples of their works that I like.
(Edit 2 months later: I later decided not only to privately rank them based on how much I like, love, or envy their art styles, but added a second rank for how much I like their visual development skills!)
@@pawshirecoming back to this video I have found my style, but for me it was the media that helped me find it. My real niche is zen tangle like designs with Posca markers! I’m opening up an Etsy shop this week!!
@@pawshireif you haven’t already, I vote yes! I just subscribed and am looking over your videos to see if you have 😊
This is great because most people say “draw or paint everyday” and that’s it..
Using something you Love as the subject is the missing link! I’ll have to try this! Thank you for sharing! 👏😄
I'm glad this was helpful
Thank you so much! I have tried so many different ways to 'make art', books, workshops etc, feel inspired 'oh yes, this is it', then always losing interest and quitting, 'well, I just don't have it'. Your words inspire me. 87 and still 'looking'.
Yes! 💪💪💪
Your "uninteresting" story really resonated with me. As a former graphic artist, who decided to go back to drawing & painting, I had a tough time finding my style. Even though I've had small success in selling art & getting commissions, my style is all over the place. I feel lost. Like nothing I put out there is truly me. After spending the past few days watching videos on this subject, I have to say, yours has really helped simplify & put things in perspective for me. Thank you so much! ❤
Your uninteresting story is my story. Word by word. Except that I’m still not drawing and thinking about how do I make illustration my one and only thing that gives me income. Still working as a graphic designer. The advice you give in this video might be the one thing that finally gets me started. It makes ALL the sense. Doing this allows one to find a pattern, that one thing that’s unique to you. Also, your cat drawings are divine ❤️… and hand gestures are a must for explanations LOL latinamerican here 🖐️
I just can't speak without moving my hands 😂 I hope you start drawing again soon!
Your on camera presence is so engaging, just lovely. This is really great advice. I think it's not absolutely imperative that you work every single day, but a consistent practice and committing to that is definitely key. Draw what you love and you'll find yourself developing. Do what others want you to, or what you think they want you to do and you will fail both in your improvement and your joy.
This, your story resonates a lot. I worked as a graphic designer too, and i needed to get back into drawing, which i always love.
Working as a graphic designer, doing other ppl’s job orders and commissions actually eat at you artistically… by the end of a workday you are left with no creative brain juices for yourself. It came to a point i had to rediscover myself artistically again, and the road to that is art… the sketchbook is a mighty powerful tool.
You gave great advice in your video. And your drawings are very good and pretty.
I feel you on this 💕💪
I love that you have identified your art style. I've noticed over the past 15 years that my art style changes. I just love making art that makes other people happy.
you speak from my soul.. same here: graphic designer with lost motivation in the only thing i was good at, since I was a little kid. liked & subscribed
I don’t know how I haven’t found you before now, considering that I also love to paint and I am obsessed with cats! I absolutely LOVE your work ❤❤❤
Welcome!!🌼😽
Wow...my graphic design career killed my creativity and passion for creating. Thanks for sharing that again!!
I hope you rediscover your creativity again 💪

I love tip #4, recreating the work you love. The internet has made me so paranoid about being accused of "copying" that I'm scared to even copy others' work for myself, for my private notebook, for educational purposes! Which is crazy. So many successful artists have learned from copying others' work as practice.
If I am doing a study, whether I reproduce painting so I can understand the technique better, or just elements, I like to credit the artist in my work by either saying inspired by, or a tribute to.
honestly one of the best suggestions I've heard, thanks
That was the most truthful and useful information for the stuck artist…overwhelmed is my middle name 😊….thank you….I will take with me “Practice makes Progress” not practice makes perfect whichever never really believed or understood.
Daily fun/practice here I come….🎉
Your work sort of reminds me of Matisse, the color, the pattern, the subject, very beautiful and soulful!!!❤❤❤
He's my favourite artist. I love Fauvist Artists in general, along with Naive Artists ^^
your art is gorgeous
Love your drawing style so much! Very inspirational!❤
Awesome sketch book 👏
charming girl is discussing topics that concern me. Perfect!
I've heard of this technique before, but never tried it. Super inspiring!
This was actually worth it. I mean every word you said was quite correct and too the point. I think this the only thing I need to achieve my art style.
Such great advice! It also helps that I vibed with your lovely art!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m on board with the daily exercise!!! Love your creativity & very delightful talent!
Thank you for this video and for sharing.❤ I agree with you! Your works are beautiful!
So happy I found your channel we think alike for the last month I have been drawing the same as you suggested finding my way, women cats and few other topics that interest me. I find it is a great way to also try to complete in 10mins certain drawings Challenge myself daily to do.
Wishing you success with your channel, I am sure you will be very successful.❤
Aaahh, I really love your drawings! And the way you pick and put the colors together to create such harmonious drawings! Looking at them, even the unfinished pieces on your sketchbook makes me feel happy and wanna pick up the pencil and paint and start drawing again! 💙💙
Yay! I hope you will! Please share your drawings on Instagram too!
Thank you for this. I'm also a graphic designer that was a panting major back in college. I lost the "pulse" that I had when I was painting due to the length of time I have been a designer. Now, I'm trying to get back to making fine art and what I've been creating is shit. But I realized that if we take out self judgment, we also take out the paralyzing fear to make mistakes. It's important to be kind to yourself and to give yourself a break while breaking into this craft again. Thank you Pawshire! Excellent video tip!
I relate to this a lot. It was also really exhausting to "believe" that I needed to know it all! The decision to just focus on painting what made me happy was really a huge change for my journey. You can definitely get there too
I’m a graphic designer trying to get back into the swing of making art, I thought I was the only one! Knew you were a designer once I seen the graphics on your video. You give me faith that I can do both!
You sure can 😁 I got back to illustrations because I wanted to have a space where I could create only what I wanted^^
Love your art! Thank you for sharing your story.❤
I can relate!!!
love your message, your story and your editing on this video. thank you -- wishing you the all the best with your channel.
Very cool video. Thanks for sharing!
such great advice! thank you
your style is so unique!
Loved this and your style! Thank you ❤
Thank you for watching!
Such pretty work you make! And I love this idea and tips, simple and solid. And it makes me realize I have been drawing the same things that I love over and over now for awhile, just for fun. So now I can look over those drawings for patterns and inspiration and (hopefully) can move forward a bit more with my own work. How fun, thank you!
Excellent information. Very well explained. Thank you for this.❤️
Thank you so very much.I had been feeling unmotivated Now I know exactly what to
Thanks I needed everything you said. I was sitting here staring blankly at six taped off cards naked of pencil, pen, or paint. By the time you finished talking I had a bird I love staring back at me. I will try your method every day. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇦❤
Fantastic video! thanks for sharing.

Thank you❤
Thank you for this. And I love your work.
You helped me finally get started after years of staring at my art supplies...Thank You❤
That's amazing! 💪💪💪💪
You are so delightful. I have a similar problem, i love everything. However, after looking at my paintings and drawings, the human eye and mouth along with trees seemed to pop up all the time. This actually gives me an idea for my next work. So! Thank you lovely one, how sweet you are. Hugs from AUSTRALIA..

Thank you
Great tips and loved seeing your artwork and hearing your story. thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this
Awesome advice
You have a beautiful art style! Thats exactly what is missing from mine. Variety within the consistency. In a different vein, I'm trying to get into animation and I feel fully overwhelmed because i feel like everything is in our modern world, and feel obligated to do it all! Still, I feel style is key in how I will go about recreating objects and people. Thank you! You are amazing 😊
wonderful teaching of trusing your own style, and daring just to be, your own style...............thank you, much needed advice!!!!
Absolutely relatable! 💯 Exactly what I needed to hear after just leaving my art room feeling overwhelmed. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Love your found style, and your art work is beautiful and vibrant. 💓🙌🎨💐
Thank you very much for your kind words! 💕
Thank you for this video. I've been struggling alot lately with this, and your idea is simple but yet so brilliant!!! Your pieces are beautiful. Much love and success to you, and Happy Thanksgiving 😊

This was absolutely the best advice I've come across since I started drawing. I'm enjoying the journey and trying to just go with it, which is a different mindset for me. Thank you! Your artwork is lovely.
Your colour sketchbooks are stunning. You are a true artist ! 🧡🌱🧡🌿🩵🌱💚
I love what you had to say, very insightful and helpful.
Beautiful pictures! I like your art style.

Wonderful, natural advice!

Brilliant advice! And in a very efficient video. This is amazing help, thank you!
I love your style of filming and telling your experiences. It helps me a lot.
Thank you! I was afraid it wouldn't, so I'm really happy it helped! 🤗
Thanks for the great tips. Your art is wonderful ❤
Thanks for sharing your talents and insights. I can get down on myself for buying art supplies and waiting until I am "good enough" to use them. This inspired me to try and learn how I can get started.
I'm glad this video helped you 🤗 Buying art supplies or equipment can definitely give us an illusion of action, but at the end of the day, it's just motion, and I've totally been there ^^" Taking a small action everyday matters the most, and you can do this! 💪
Beautiful
Wow, thanks for your words of wisdom
Thank you so much for sharing this Video ❤
Everyone especially artists should read the book “One”. It will help you as learn how to focus your creativity.
This is a great video, I feel identified with you because I have experienced the same things. Thank you!
