Usually when I dislike my art it’s because I had a vision that I couldn’t really translate on paper.
same
That's how I feel as well
same! that's the most accurate feeling.
Aka those beautiful locations you have in your soul and see in your dreams. If they don't exist after death, I'll be kind of pissed. I want to sleep there.
Samee
I just hate my art because I’m so close to finding my art style, but nothing is clicking
Keep on trying!!! You're almost there!
Just keep drawing, and don’t rush it. Let it happen naturally 😊
I have to disagree about the "copying someones style" bit. It's something that naturally happens when you learn art and it's also something you naturally grow out of as you develop your visual library. With so many young (or new) artists posting to social media we see this step publicly, feel defensive, and call them out. I think it does a disservice to the developing artist.
Good point to consider. Well said🙏
You're not wrong but I have a particular artist in mind who has heavily based her style on sara's and she's quite successful because of it. In my mind her art just feels,, wrong and that's probably because I know that usually I would see this style on sara's profile. She'll probably grow out of it at some point because that style just isn't completely hers, but it generally isn't a great thing to do
@@why.do.I.even.try. hmm there is copying ONE artist and copying 10 artists. Copying one artist is limiting, copying 10 artists is smart
@@why.do.I.even.try. maybe she doesn’t know Sara? my style is very similar to hers however i’ve drawn like this way before i first saw her channel
@@-chirpchirp- no it was 100% her, but since then she has changed and become unique so at least that part of my comment came true lol
copying in art is natural and ain't a bad thing. the so-called great artists of history like Michelangelo copied from Roman sculptures. and to be honest, because the art community is so saturated, it's very rare to find a unique style; it most likely existed in someone else's sketchbook already. it's similar to knowing someone else in this world looks like you, but you just haven't seen them
i also think there's probably many people who's "voice" and "message" are similar to other artists'. doesn't mean they're copying or not expressing their own ideas
I think copying art is really helpful, as practice :)
The problem with the art community is tho - a lot of people copy and take credit. Makes me glad that people are quick to speak up and call it out though.
Kasey golden has a unique style of art that nobody in UA-cam has
@@casstark9790 Yeah, was about to say that. Copying art is OK as long as you don't take credit for it...or rather, don't post it, just study from what you copied, y'know.
I don’t really care about style; as long as I can convey character emotion and the technical aspects aren’t distracting, I’m happy in many styles.
That is probaly THE best tip for people who are currently practising and gaining skill but still feel unhappy.
Elizabeth you can’t really steal a style if that’s where you’re coming from
i feel like a lot of people are scared to ‘copy’ because it’s always looked down on, but when it comes to learning certain things, copying is your best friend because then you will most likely adapt a habit on, for instance, how the human body looks like etcetc. what is NOT okay is copying and taking credit!!
I’m feeling very insecure about my art style atm so the fact you released this video is a blessing! Thank you for sharing tips and your thoughts:)
Same
Same here!
This tutorial is really interesting love the colors you used
7:52 "you're not making an art baby from two other artist's work" was the highlight :D
That got a giggle from me 😂
I feel like finding your own style isn't a singular thing. There is no end goal really, and the problem comes when people expect you to have only one style only. I always had multiple interest and styles, so to me the idea in the popular art community that a style has to look the same and once it changes your "stealing" a style of another is petty. Your own style is never entirely your own and does not have to remain the same to please others. You don't have to be a push over. 😊 Art is many things and lives off of change and development.
I think it's important to see the difference in getting in to art, and getting better at art. Personal opinion, but starting with anatomy and the fundamentals might not necessarily be the best - only if you really want to develop and improve. If you just wanna start drawing, I think copying your fave artist or show is a good start to create an interest, at that point art should be for fun ♡ Then you can start focusing on fundamentals and style
Agreed
I'm also 40 and my style is always changing. we generally do not stop exploring our style as artist, we are always changing :)
Hello Sara! I just wanted to thank for continuously putting out really quality content even in tough times. Thank you and stay safe everyone!
Ahhh thank you so much! That seriously means so much to me!!🙈
I totally agree with this. I am so thankful for this channel 🙏❤️
When I was in art school someone commented that a piece of mine looked very similar to another artist. The professor’s response was that it was ok and that, if I kept working, in a decade my art would no longer look like someone else’s. Be flattered that your art is among the “early influences” of someone who may someday go on to incorporate the sufficiently-broad range of influences we call “style.”
I draw realism or semi-realism, but I can't figure out my style, its confusinggg
Sameeeeeeeee
Do both.
Same I draw realism, how can I find my style?
That's so cool! I don't hate my art. I just get disappointed when I can't complete something as fast as I want to.
Out of all the tutorials/videos on how to find one’s style, this is by far the best and most informative i have ever watched!! All of the things you mentioned made so much sense 👏 when you said that our taste outweighs our technique/current style, it was the best explanation on why (‼️) we should practice and u even mentioned practicing/observing anatomy + lighting to start off with (how we should practice); what to “copy” for our studies: contemporary artists should be second to traditional masters
[hell i felt like i made a v short reaction paper but i guess this is what quarantine does to me]
You’re a legend ily tysm 🥺
Thank you for your honest opinion about that topic! I think it is totally true, that you need to have a variety of inspirations and to not focus on one other artist, so that you have multiple things that you copy, BUT I think you are missing one point. I think when you are younger these this topic is just not something what you care about so much, because you just want to draw what you like and be like your idols and so on. I think realizing that you have to mix many inspirations and try out own different things is a thing which most people need to discover as they grow as an artist and as themselves, too. Its like learning other things, too. In the beginning you copy to learn. And with the learning process you get to a point, where you understand, that you need to get out of this mindset to grow and get better =).
But thank you a lot for this video, I totally enjoy seeing your painting process! Its really beautiful!
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH for telling me the thing i needed to hear in my whole life....My taste outweights my skill.
you are such an inspiration to me Sara
Thank you so much for making this video; specifically on this subject. I also appreciate that you are using Photoshop for the speedpaint since I am a photoshop artist as well and it really helps to see your process and learn. Thank you for the great advice 👍🏼❤️
Been following you for 3 years now!
First off, this artwork is beautiful! The colours, aesthetic, lighting and blending is gorgeous x Secondly, thank you so much, in this 15 minute video I've gotten the best advice I needed right now.
I know I am in the minority in that I have liked my Art from the start. I will admit I wanted a better level of prowess and still do. Every style has changed with every medium I have worked in. Digital was the most difficult as I had trouble getting my works to look more natural and like "real" art I use real because I wanted my printed works to look like my originals on paper or canvas. Now, Digital Art is real art make no mistake about that! I enjoyed listening to your take on this subject and I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future! Be safe and take care!
This is exactly the video I needed right now!! Thank you!
I've been following you on Instagram for I think now 3years. I fallen in love with your drawings, and tried to somehow be inspired by your unique art style. Thank you for this video, and I will try to take part in your DTIYS.
I will say for a few years I got lost looking at other people’s artwork and their growth and not my own. I’ve recently looked back at a few pieces I’ve created and I’m happy with my growth. I do agree studying does help! I’ve got a few books around the fundamentals of art and digital art books that I’ve not had the time to read. I’ve got the time now and I think they’ll assist in areas I’m not confident in ✌🏻
This was very helpful thanks a lot! And your art is beautiful!
i love this sm you’ve rly inspired me to make my own channel💓
I really like how you explained this. Being a "new" artist I learned from this. Thanks 💙
I realized that you put shuttle stars in a lot of your pieces, I think it is so cute ✨♥️
You're right I'm experiencing that. I cant be pleased by my art there's always this thing something I find lacking but I'm not just that skilled enough yet.
With the copying art some things I agree with but a lot I don’t... if you are beginner artist I think that if you get down the basic shapes of what you want your style to look like then you can tweak it and learn from it. Many amazing artist learned through the shapes of there favorite artist and made there style through it. I think posting a 1 to 1 ratio of a different artist is theft but personal drawing that is for growing and seeing the shapes and hues and tones in a drawing is very important and can make you grow a lot.
I love love love!!!! The drawing on thumbnail it is so beautiful!
The tutorial is wonderful!
Your videos are always so helpful!
Do you recommend any videos or anything to learn about lighting and anatomy, especially lighting. Because I have trouble making highlights.
ahh this video could not have come at a better time!! My taste is definitely wayy higher than my skill but it’s nice to recognize that this is something we all struggle with! Thank you so much for this video and beautiful artwork :))
You are a wise young lady!! perfectly said. you have a style but you're not happy with the outcome or need to practice with anatomy more. thank you for your help!!!
I think the concept of "own style" ia kinda overrated and even absurd, bcuz one person can make so many different things without actually having a definite style, thts the beauty of it, to be able to make things in so many different ways tht u can still make ppl guess "who made this??" instead of "thts definetly made by (...)" ofc having ur art recognized by ppl is great, tht just means u reached a point where u hv ur own signature in everything u do but the downside is... it also feels like u r stuck with tht signature bcuz its obviously smthg u do Unconsciously & u actually adopted a specific style, thts gonna be hard to get rid of if u're eilling to bring in more variation, for me i feel like taking away the pressure of "having a style" would affect greatly your performance on making art, u'll definetly enjoy it more bcuz u're not looking to progress for the purpose of trying to reach the "your style" point but rather you're just craving for progress, giving yourself a distination especially in art related stuff might make u stagnate in a way? ofc u'll keep wanting to progress but not the same as whn u reached your label, whn u dont hv a specific style u're just all over the place & doing everything, u just accumulate everything & throw it out there and it'll be so amazing ppl will keep asking for every piece "who tf did this?" ppl will keep asking instead of just knowing and even in some cases inexperienced artist stick so much to their style tht their work might even become boring and repetitive, i definetly personally prefer not having a style, it just seems more exciting and less stressful than going on a quest to find my style, just making art is wht matters at the end of the day 💜
this is such an isnpiring video omg!! i am gonna make a list definitely
Hi Sara !
First of, thank you for sharing so genuinely your work.
I'd have a lil question as a newbie on tablet + Krita : do you use the "coton swab" tool to mild the lines together? And if you only use the brush, how do you make such a uniform mass as in your drawing? I struggle with this part.
Please do a video on how to study anatomy
Thank you so much for making this video. It is really helpful.😊❤
Loved this 💜
Amazing!!!!
Omg i'm a big fan i love you.Like omg just watching your videos is so cool and amazing .Your a goob artis that's i subscribed to you.
your videos are so helpful and I will definitely be trying your draw this in your style
I am feeling a bit down about my art right now and this really helped
and thank you for he giveaway:)
what program did you use if I can? Thanks
did you read my mind or something? I’ve been having so much trouble with this.
Hey sara! From where can i get the brushes u used in this digital painting?
Omg I just came from your insta (I commented on your latest post) but the finished illustration is gorgeous 💕💫💫
It's a challenge, really ✨❤️ thanks for the video, u are an inspiration for me and my channel
OMG YESSSS
I don't know why but everytime I learn or found something new about art I always get overwhelmed by it. Idk maybe it's just me 😅
Nice video, but my comment about this "copy" issue is the vision you have about copying, I think that combine styles with the clear vision about finding what art problem that artist could resolve with that style (that i like) can be a good thing to think about. Everyone copy, but somebody can find some great art solutions combining their life exprience with some art styles that like. We do this unconsciously.
The bad thing is litterally copy a style and a ideia for a illustration and them take credit for that, and not combine and study many art styles (not a good thing focus in only one art style) and not thiking much about the idea we want to comunicate with our art.
Nice art! Thanks for all!
You should do a speed paint soon! Or even a tutorial. Btw love your art it always seems very pleasing to the eye
Nice comparison 😄
Every painting i do is in a different art style because nothing I do seems to fit what I like to do. The only think im really good at is hyper realism portraits but thats not really an art style.... and it takes at least 20-30h to complete 1 person. I hate it
Very good. Do you use Wacom Syntique?
I'm getting closer to having a style the only issues I have is I can't convey it as well as I'd like to. But I've been digital drawing for 2 years so hopefully I'll get better with more time. I used to change my style drastically so many times because I always see so many different styles I like and want to draw like them. 😆
My biggest inspiration is Edward Hopper, I want to convey melancholic feelings like his work does.
I was o excited for the giveaway :( but I am from Portugal :'(
O loved the video and your art. Its always amazing! 🥰😍
This is very good
I'd love to see you do a "your version repaint" of one of Waterhouse's paintings, maybe Cleopatra or The Magic Circle, or even Boreas?
🙏💛thank you!
Notifications squad like this
Wish I saw this video sooner so I could enter the giveaway, I have a very old laptop that makes my programs lag like crazy. But I absolutely love this video, super helpful and your art is beautiful!
Its like 5 am in my country but i am watching it anyway becouse you are my idol 🥰
Nice and saved a lot of money buying supplies. LOL.
I am always a bit conflict between real tools and computer tools, I like both though.
I love that!Please make a video about Full Photoshop Process.
Lindo demais!!
What art app do you use? I have been trying out some but none of them seemed "right" to me
Procreate is my favourite but only if you have the money. It’s pretty cheap and has no ads
giveaway available only for usa or canada citizens, you should've mention that
I feel like I'm the only one who likes my owm art 😏 which is is kinda sad tbh.
Hi! You were talking about studying the fundamentals of anatomy and lighting, I was wondering if you had any sites or books or whatnot that you could recommend I look at?
i know im not sara tepes but ive learned a bit of the fundamentals from proko tv, bradwynn jones on youtube, for books i heard andrew loomis has good books on like heads and hands and figure and possibly composition too, or george bridgman for drawimg from life, it all depends i think on what you are going for in ur art and there is a good site to get free pdfs of those books its called pdfdrive.com but proko has his own lil version of andrew loomis on how to draw heads and oh ethan becker is fun to watch cause he gives alot of tips and is entertaining cause of his sense of humor while doing it
Kia K. Jarmon Thank you!
@@quaketh6823 no problem :)
The thing that worries me with art styles is that my "styles" are SO disparate in how they look that people who see them would believe that some of them aren't mine and I'm just copying from someone else.
Same here. I can’t even stick to one distinct style because I have so many different art styles, and sticking to just one feels a bit too restricting. I think it’s okay to have multiple art styles though because it shows how versatile your art skills can be, but then again, that’s just my opinion.
Nice painting and video. I'm 30 now and still struggling to find my style.
손그림에 익숙한 나는. 디지털 그림이 신기하기만 합니다👍🏻
And also Don't forget your brush settings
Idk I feel like I can't do anything past realism or wat looks like realism. Even my semi realism is bad. What do I do
Abigail A Do a study of fruits, draw what you see. Focus on how the shadows make shapes instead of the whole picture. My art teacher taught me that. It helped me so I hope it can help you!
Sara I struggle with motivation allot with my art and animation do you have any tips?
I want to enter the competition for the laptop and not the tablet cuz I already have one.. is that ok?
bronte sistahs ♥♥♥
👍
I dont think I actually pulled from anyone or had any artists which I wanted to emulate when I started drawing, then again I also didnt learn the appropriate way I guess? I didnt study anatomy or used refs or some such, though I think I figured out lighting and colour theory during my ms paint phase funnily enough (classic making a blend between colours using the watercolour brush and eye dropper tool haha) but then after that I went into traditional pencil drawing of women, mostly correcting things byt repitition and knowing it didnt look right. As for my style though, it sort of just progressed naturally as I found things I liked more by experimenting a little and challenging myself; Ive a habit of consistently being way too ambitious and while I learn lots Im also taking a very long time nitpicking and trying to get it right haha I like where my style is at though, and if I were to be someone who did art as more than a hobby then Id absolutely put more effort into trying to learn things in a less haphazard way, especially considering my weaknesses in art, but in contrast its so easy to see my progress which is nice ^^ in any case sorry for rambling, I love how you address how people develop their styles, or in some cases emulate others, as its fascinating to me considering how weird I went about it xD love the art too!! :D
Hey, love your video! ✨✌️🏻 Is the giveaway international?
i cannot find my way to start the process of painting!! after the sketch it’s just a mess pleeeease show in more detail how you separate your layers and start painting the colors and stuff pleaaaase
great technique..from indonesia ❤❤❤
Great video and I loved your art! Too bad I live in Europe and can’t participate in the giveaway.... :(
i love your art and your videos sara !!!
I’m here and I want to learn. But every piece I make just tears me down. I hate it. I get so frustrated because I wish my art looked half as good as the Instagram artists I see post everyday. I don’t know how to get out of this hole that I keep digging down in. I feel like I lost passion of the thing that I loved. I don’t remember the last time I felt good or happy doing art 😔
I feel you man - I get the same sometimes too and it really sucks. My best advice would be to try a new medium; use digital? Try to sketch something out with pen and paper! Oil pastels! Usually use watercolor? Try collage / scrapbooking (imo this is so satisfying and really helps my sense of color)! Anything new and fun really!
Another idea of the same theme is to change the topic of your drawing - usually draw people? Try flowers/landscapes!
Perhaps try to figure out at what point you you get frustrated?
Do anything that gets you out of your rut - something new, something unfamiliar, something that piques your interest. It doesn't even have to be "art" per say - anything that you feel expresses your creativity. Pick a mood. A scene. An experience. Try to describe it the best you can, however you can.
Another thing you can do is look for inspiration on social media (although you mention that you compare your art to others' on Instagram so maybe that's not the best idea for you specifically).
Try changing your environment - perhaps you are sick of being in the same place?
Idk sorry for rambling at you I just find that these help me sometimes. Most of all I would say - don't give up! Just keep at it, because you will get out of your rut, I promise ⊂(´･◡･⊂ ) !

Me: TFW the reality doesn't meet up my high expectations
Did you stop using krita?
I’ve tried to register with Project Innovate, link to activate doesn’t work & I tried to email them, it was undelivered...... not sure where to go from here.
They emailed me last night saying the link was temporarily not working; my bio has the updated one!! It should be okay
Thank you
Sara Tepes thank you but I can’t do anything with it now... I was half way through setting up account & it won’t activate from the email link they sent. I have tried emailing them from email on their site but it’s just getting returned undeliverable. I can’t set up a new account because my email has been used. I don’t know what else to do.
Is the give away open to Canadians as well?
Nm i just entered so it’s Canada wide as well yay! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
damn u made a pretty helpful video and ppl down here still complaining
also i just wanna say that actively looking for an art style will get you no where. just literally draw what and how you like and the style will come to you. (without blatantly copying one artist,,,,)
and i cant be annoyed with beginners, because they are beginners and they dont know any better, but they should have some other goal with art other than "i want an art style"
Hi have a nice day
Normally, I try and develop my own style and develop it since I am a self taught.................. And I get stuck when I cant really spit it out on my paper.......
I’m so early😊
What if you're an old artist who can't find their style?
💝wow your art is beautiful💝
🌷🌷It inspires so many to see artists like you🌷🌷
💝 I also have the passion for painting 💝
🌷How lucky you are to be able to create such interesting Art🌷
💝🎨 💝🎨 💝🎨 💝
