i realize I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know a good place to watch new series online?
@Elisha Mario I use Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Jerry Houston definitely, I've been watching on FlixZone for since march myself :D
@Jerry Houston Thanks, I went there and it seems to work =) I appreciate it !!
As a designer, art director, illustrator, and sculptor, for the last 3 decades, the thought I would give you or anyone caught up in this notion of style, would be this.
Your style will naturally appear out of the things you like to create, who or what you take personal inspiration from, and ultimately what you enjoy creating and representing.
Your hand, your eye, your voice, your movement, will always be uniquely your own, and the more you play in any given medium the more your style will begin to solidify.
Try to relax into what you enjoy doing. If you're just starting out and don't have tons of experience, then play, experiment, copy, analyze, find what you love doing, and do that. You'll find your groove, and with it, your style will grow out of it.
And lastly...your style will never stop evolving. There is rarely an end point in your creative journey. You may fund your creativity with one particular look or genre, but you will always find yourself being inspired by new things outside of it. And those things, if they carry enough weight with your creative spirit, will find their way into your art, and style. It's the beauty of creation.
So relax. Play. Be curious. Keep an open mind, a watchful eye, and open ear, do what fills you with inspiration, and just create. Never stop creating.
What a great reply I really needed to hear, thank you so much. At 46 and only doing design for the last 4 years, my skill is only now starting to improve, and I may be developing a style very slowly.
So; if I enjoy drawing muscly physiques, and I was really good at it, does that mean that I will get more attention when developing my own style and adding things?
@@stenn.4160 whaddyou mean more attention?
@@axserwz5022 followers, people who are interested in that stuff etc.
@@stenn.4160 well there's no guarantee, that a change/development in your style will get you more followers, if you improve your technical skills, and the presentation of your art, you'll most likely get more followers but even then it's not guaranteed
"Take the risk of disappointing yourself". I have the disappointing bit down, alright.
HAHA I HOLD THE 69TH LIKE. I HAVE ETERNAL POWER.
Maybe I got to excited about having the 69th like...
God same lol
@@ahuman28 no I’d be excited too lmfaoALL HAIL #69!!!!
Art style is simply a manifestation of how YOU perceive the world. It’s the fingerprint of your mind’s eye.
I personally think the best way to handle the "Oh I don't have a style"/ "What even is my style?," phase is to not worry about it at all... I feel if one focus on worrying about it rather than just drawing would ultimately make themselves feel discouraged to the point where they just stop drawing. At the end of the day your art style will emerge someway somehow. You already have your own unique art style but it's probably not what you envisioned, maybe because you could be lacking the proper practice, or you're just not patience . I noticed that other artists that talks about this topic sort of beats around the bush about it because really the solution to this problem is not that complicated to figure out.
(This may be a bit harsh for some, but the point here that I'm trying to make is to well...not allow yourself to make up excuses to not draw I guess. Because really all this topic really is, is one huge excuse.)
.

Love you Josh, keep up the good work boiiiii!
I agree, mostly its best not to worry and focus on building skill and practice for a solid amount of time. Discouragement is a huge threat.
Elijah Horton since I was a kid all I’ve tried and wanted to draw was anime styled art, but since I’ve started doing realism art I’ve realized I’m hella good at it even though I’ve only drawn anime.
I somewhat disagree, I think the best answer to the statement “I don’t have an art style” is “Yes you do”
Using my definition of art style (the way you unconsciously/mindless draw), Everyone from “never drawn in my life” to “I have 50 years of experience” has an art style. The people who say “I don’t have an art style” are actually saying “I don’t have a _unique/original_ art style”. These people want their art style to stand out from the others but like you said, they don’t have the practice/experience to achieve this unique style. So they become unmotivated and avoid art.
What I’m trying to say is, instead of telling the “I don’t have an art style” people not to worry about it you should telling them that they do in fact have an art style but that they should keep practicing more to achieve a “better” or more original art style. I rest my case also sorry for the long comment
Honestly I'm focusing on my anatomy and expressions.
I like this advice. I would recommend people to just keep practicing and see what you do and if you don't think like what my art style should be rather just keep practicing like anatomy and form and color and see what you naturally feel comfortable doing.
Listening to really talented artists being positive and telling people to not give up always makes me want to cry. It's something I really need to hear, I think, but I get really sad everytime I remember I can't gather the motivation to plug in my expensive ass tablet I got for my birthday and practice. It's like I'm being left behind and I just feel like a complete disappointment.
I really wonder how people can get up their butt and start doing what they want to do, instead of binge watching really talented people online at 3AM, being inspired and wanting to draw, but spending all their time eating pizza and being an overall waste of space and money.
HanaChiiSan ngl I haven’t picked up a pencil for a couple of weeks. I just feel like I can’t be bothered but I used to do it all the time .drawing WAS my stay up till three am thing. I would come home from school and I would draw and would draw until I went to sleep but idk what’s happened lol
@@wholesometownofficial7255 yeah, I feel you. I'd hop through sketchbooks like water. I'd only finish using my school notebooks if I drew on them. It was literally what kept me alive for a period of my life. But now if I draw once every 2 months, it's a lot. Im trying to use the quarantine t.o.p draw more, I guess it's working a bit, but I draw once a week at most
HanaChiiSan yeah, same I would get through a sketch book in a couple of weeks but I haven’t picked mine up in a month 🥴
Im so glad im not alone!! Something that has really helped me, is smoking marijuana (in moderation). It gets rid of that fear and helps motivate me. Everyone is different and not everyone is interested in smoking, but it has really helped me a lot. Ive drawn more in the last month than the past 6 months.
There are many forms of art do whatever expresses you and you can use refences to learn the fundamentals
Definitely listening to this in class tomorrow 😂
Yes!
Wish I could do that,,,
"I found it so difficult to draw at the level that I like when I have the reference."
Thank you for this insightful video, i learn so much!
Personally, what has helped me discover my art style (which is still super brand new) is trial-and-error. There was a phase where I tried different styles - lines, colors, subject, composition. There were some moments that I felt really stressed and disappointed because I had so many artists I looked up to and I just couldn't reach that level. But when I stepped back and took a look at my entire portfolio, I narrowed down what I like to draw, especially what makes me sigh in relief when I step back to look at the finished piece. And I decided, what the hell, it doesn't hurt to follow what I like to do. So, I would highly encourage anybody looking for their style to experiment with different styles and finding what you like to do.
so, two weeks ago I decided that I wanted to draw again, after almost 15 years without the king about it as a daily activity. And the more I listen to people who has experience with that, the more I realize that all I need to do is practice and develop my skills without comparing to other people who are already experienced. And then, my style will come to me once I find out what I like to do, what I enjoy to do and can do best.
It's very interesting and valuable to hear the way your thinking process is evolving, and especially some of the self-doubt (which leads to growth) that you encounter. I'm sure a lot of us feel the same way sometimes but struggle with acknowledging these feelings or knowing how to turn them into a positive motivator. Thank you for sharing!
No problem! And yes evolving everyday, so many things to learn and overcome.
some of the best advice i was given was to stop worrying so much about getting it right, and start trying to make it good. This is why I usually start my work from imagination and once i hit a wall i bring in the references. This really helps me bring my own style to my work because the reference is just to make minor tweaks to things that can be improved not dictate the actual look and feel of the image.
Finding one's own unique art style takes time. Possibly years.
It took 15-ish years for me to finally discover my art style. And I didn't realize it for a good while.
Once I discovered I had a unique art style, I ignored it. Because if I tried to stick to it, my art would suffer. I would focus on my style and less on the art. I foolishly didn't realise my art style was a natural outcome of my drawing.
Sadly, my job and life duties have taken away my time for art. I've not drawn much in the last 5 yrs. And I've list my unique style. And I find myself having to relearn how to draw. I may get my style back one day. But, again, it's going to take time. And it will have to come naturally.
I've upload some of my old art onto both ArtStation and Instagram. Comparing them to my recent art, you can see my skills have suffered.
Your voice is so soothing and you give great advice!Thank you for this.
I’ve listened to this so often. It’s so relaxing to hear your voice and I’m looking forward to new episodes
Thank you so much for putting this on Spotify, I really /really/ appreciate it. I was able to work and listen to your beautiful voice and I don’t think I’ve ever worked so efficiently, thank you kindly.
Love then name I can’t wait for more podcasts 😂💙♥️😍😍
I’ve been painting traditional for so long. You make me want to open my procreate app again ❤️
I love his voice! It calms me so much...it's perfect listening while drawing art. :D
Thank you. I LOVED this. "Take that in and share it back to the world"...I got chills. 😁
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this matter! I found myself in a lot of your struggles and it brought me peace that it’s ok, I am not the only one who feels distracted by the reference photo or that I don’t necessarily aim for a style but rather a “unique technique”☺️.
Really resonated with your color comments. I recommend looking at the "French Palette" It is a really great way to limit your colors so you can make really conscious choices.
Love the name! And excellent advice, especially for this newbie to process while learning :)
Thank you! Glad to hear that
thank you your channel has helped me in many ways
35:33 I struggle with this too, your advice is very helpful with putting me on the right track
Thank you so much for sharing all your insights. This was very helpful for me :)
Awesome video man, love the pink sketch lines. My go to sketch lines are light blue :) not that original but it works lol. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for making this video.
I really appreciate your channel, your art, and everything you say. It's reassuring to see such an amazing artist like yourself having insecurities. Insta art and all the glamour sometimes make big artists seem too perfect to be true. I hate coloring, I thought about sticking to black and white multiple times, but I want to learn, I want to be able to express myself through colors. You help me alot. Thank you.
I had already found my art style but is still fun watching these type of videos
Man, you are so good that I decided to go to school for a real job, while I do art as a hobby that I love. I'm not dogging myself out. I'm just not good enough to make it as professional. Maybe one day when I've had ten years of practice I can make a career change.
And I'm never going to stop. The reason I'm learning to draw is I want to get good at 3D work. So again, not quitting art. But you have something really amazing man. Keep it up. And keep inspiring us up and comers.
Your art is absolutely lovely 😊
my art style happened accidentally: i was drawing abstract line art with themes of cynicism and pop art. i work as a graphic designer, so then for this year i thought of creating album artworks inspired by my fave records from this year.
long story short, i discovered that i love doing glowy, retro, futuristic illustrations that’s heavily-inspired by music (that’s why i do them in squares). it’s cute, funky, that carries dark undertones. soft opacity brushes changed my life lol. and then add grain for a vintage look ✨
I am a aspiring artist at the moment and have been debating on majoring in graphic design. And this video made my mind up! Thanks so much. I gotta get my hands on a IPad Pro so I can even better stuff.
This was so well put and interesting to me, especially in the ways that I relate and also how the difference in age (I’m about 7 years older than you I think).
Growing up in a time when the internet was very much in its infancy, the messaging on how to become a better artist was a bit more muddied and vague. I remember being gifted a book on Bridgman as a kid which I never read but would occasionally look at. Manga got me into western comics, which got me into illustration and ‘fine art’.
I think I can see a style that I have developed, but I don’t think I consciously chose it, and I don’t think it emerged until after I started drawing from life with pens for a long long time. Some time in my teens I got this idea that it was the only way to get better, and I took it seriously lol. I think what happens is that we all have some unique mannerisms which begin to show up once our dexterity has developed to a point that the act of controlling a drawing instrument is something we’re no longer thinking about so much.
I think that depending on our exposure and our preferences, we adopt little tricks we see our hero’s employ, often without knowing why, and with time and practice they become a part of our visual mannerisms, and often we shed a lot of that kind of stuff, and retain maybe 10% of it, and learn when to used it intuitively. However, when I have tried to use these little tricks as cheats to bypass a skill I didn’t understand, my work would suffer, and look like an embarrassing version of whichever artist I was attempting to emulate.
I also feel like style is not something I concern myself with too much anymore as I view it as the organic and ever changing result of experience, and if I focus too much on it, I loose some of that uniquely individual aspect of myself because I am trying to separate and contain the ‘style’, for what would probably boil down to shallow purposes like making money!
I think my main take so far in my journey is to learn to enjoy drawing, don’t shy away from challenges, but also to be level headed about certain fundamentals. Perspective or anatomy will never be learned in a manner of hours, so I go back to it when I find myself running into a wall with those skills.
Anyway love your podcast-keep up the great work, your insight is awesome!
your videos are well detail i sub to you i plan to start drawling as well on the ipad,ty for all the awesome video.
I liked seeing Kushinov illya’s work. It’s one of those artist I’ve been checking once in a while because of how his line work is so clean.
Yes always, ever since he was Kronzprints or whatever hahaha
You're drawing "those girls" again lol
first of all, this video was way early than that one. secondly, he had explained why not to draw those girls is just because it won't help as much as better references can help you on improving ur drawing skills, so he suggested not to only draw emotionless ones, doesn't mean that everyone should quit drawing these girls like quitting drugs lol. not to be rude but hope u understand
He meant that if you want to draw those types of girls you have to study anatomy first and find out what you want to learn to use it in your art style, and when you finally feel good, you do it
Alice chanky it’s an joke
Lol exactly😭
@@bolucky564 lol glad someone said it
wow amazing
Please do a podcast! I love to listen to you while drawing
Take Bruce Lee's philosophy, be formless like water. Absorb, adapt, change, create into your own. It will all eventually come to you. I can't say that I have a style but I do notice certain elements and patterns across all my works no matter the media. It took me years to where I am now and to this day still developing. This can be a lifelong process, just keep going don't ever stop.
I enjoy your videos sooooooo much
You’ve got a binging with babyish vibe, its pretty dope.
Your eyes are awesome man keep it up!
Thank you bro
AWESOMOOO PROFECTTTT
Fancy intro❤️🌟🎨👑 love the advice. I am about to sit down and draw. I told my kids a new made-up story two weeks ago and they are still raving about it so I am going to try to make it a little book.
So since maleficent 2 is coming out are you going to draw her? At least her face I know you don't want to do like feathers.
HOW DID YOU KNOW? I am definitely either the week it releases or beforehand!
It was that therapy session you gave me. It made our minds a little closer lol 😆
If you are more forgetful then it's because you got some of my mom brain 🧠 🤪😆😆😆
I was looking at my phone for like 5 minutes listening and looked up at 22:25 and exclaimed, "Holy f*ck he's good at that."
I get pushed into visual design out of economic necessity for releasing music as often what is an honest, albeit meager budget to have a work commissioned is just out of my ability to pay. I came here through your 6 ways people care about your art video and dug the perspective.
I've always either had a work we wanted to use for a cover already, or I do the photo+text thing. There''s a beautiful intentionality to putting a line on a page. And yes, there's definitely a unique style but I'm not educated enough in visual arts to describe it in english.
Personally I think no one should stress over it and I think that a style should come naturally
Whoever listened to the whole video without skipping is a true legend
I’m still trying to find my style even after drawing for years but I’m definitely gravitating towards cartoony but realistic art style
hi your voice is asmr and i rlly enjoy listening to it when i'm drawing
Hahhaha thanks glad to hear that!
e r g o j o s h
ohmygodyourepliedwhat
bskdkfnf uh i’m glad you’re glad ajsjdfjf
I subscribed ur channel after watching a video.since I love ur voice.
I write poetry that is inspired by my experiences in life and music people have told me that it makes them feel a certain way. I am learning how to draw different things from disney, flowers learning how to draw faces and parts of the body I have done a few portraits starting out, and animals. My initial staying would be animated but I like realistic art the textures colors and detail are things I'd like to learn
Omg ergojosh this is the bet vid u could of made
Your voice is so soothingXD
Yes definitely the pink haha
By The was omg I Love your vids
here's my second attempt for *e r g o j o s h* to draw Ellie from The Last of Us
wait he "hearted" my comment....
now I feel bad for not being able to pay him :(
I have a art style already but I just wanted to say when i'm sad I open my skechbook and look at the first time I drew in my art style and then I'm happy
So hard to categorize what is style and you described it well
So far I've given up on perfection and I'm just trying to have fun with the process.
i feel like, maybe the style is
your good habits + your bad habits
i tried find my style for long time, now i just gave up,
just draw any styles i want. even remix them sometimes.
cuz i struggle in it for too long, and i still can't pick one to be my style.
kind of tired. now i just accept that "im greedy"
in here some ppl say this ↓ when they can't choose things:
"only children have to choose, i want it all. *make a fist*"
小孩子才做選擇，我全都要（握拳）😂😂
thank you for sharing, helpful, and i love your voice, so peaceful (-ω-)💕
I honestly didn't know I had a style until people started saying "I like your style" LOL.
If I noticed something about other artist style is that they took it from someone else's style that they like or inspired them and made it their own by adding their imagination to it. This could have been done without them knowing or remembering that is where it came from. I'm not saying you should copy a style but it is good to try an mimic other work to understand how it works. I know plenty of professionals that got their style from just drawing fan-art or comic book art that they loved growing up.
Best advice I overheard from a teacher in art school, "Don't worry about having a f**king style! Just learn how to draw first."
Nice 😉👍👍beautiful💕💕💕❤️
This piece is CRAZY dude! LOVE IT! I love drawing faces and the like...my biggest downfall though is getting proportions and details spot on. I love the feature with ipad pro where the ref pic can be on the side of the procreate screen and I'm able to zoom in and get perfect details BUT when I zoom out, to look at the full face....it's not EXACT. I totally understand how shadows and highlights affect the structure of a face....Can you point me to a place to start with getting these things right please?
honestly i like your voice sm, it reminds me to Joe from You, hahha.
“Nice to see you” Warby Parker squad 🥺💗
Hi! Thank you for the video
I bought your sketch brushes yesterday. Did u change them over time bcause they seem to look different in ur videos
I keep them up to date! I have 3 sets and a few duplicates that I use for special circumstances - not to mention some baby brushes in testing for later brush packs!
Thanks for the vid. I struggle with the, 'Why'. Why do I have the need to draw? Oh, I've no one style, every drawing is different.
I had trouble doing this
Somehow I found something that did it?
Just by combining many others?
Uhhh
Btw what is the reference drawing you using there??
Good podcast love your work :)
I'mma save this vid for when I again doubt my art!
I mostly draw portraits and like drawing it as well but I feel like oh thas not a style I should be focusing on characters and such blah blah
And when I start doing it I hate my drawing and get burnt out easily!
But I also feel like I should draw characters other wise I won't improve! It's really frustrating. This video really be opening my eyes that drawing potraits is also a style and how one draws it 💀💀
I've only been doing realistic portraits and damn I'm pretty proud of them. But then I realized... how am I supposed to differentiate myself? (especially since you can't really differentiate one realistic artist from another). i've been considering stepping away from realism and trying something else (surrealism maybe), but I'm not entirely sure. Still need to figure it out :(
hi.. im a subscriber and would like to start in digital arts. what brand and model is that drawing tab you used?
any Skillshare classes you can recommend for Procreate? i have tried procreate in the past and i love drawing, inking and coloring my own art but i really want to learn procreate and i am struggling mightily.
OOOOOH THAT INTRO
I'm sooo proud of myself hahahahah
you got big Virgo & Aquarius Energy
Yassss first
What’s the grip you use for your pen
Where do you learn to draw?
funny that you say a 4 year old cant have a style: I work in a kindergarten and i have one child with what i would call a very distinct style. I love watching her draw because the way she does it is she will draw something and then create a story around it by drawing a new thing on top of it. For example, she will draw her friends and then decide, theyre gonna fall into a tub of paint now, so shell draw on top of their faces. Or shell draw a swimming pool and then cut the edges off "so the men can jump in" :D
This is the first time I have ever listened to a whole video that more than 10 mins long, without pausing and skipping AND understanding what the person is saying. Loved the video Josh! Keep it up!
I dare this man to use Blue
I have a hard time with proportions unless I directly trace or use a photo reference, I’m good at small details and I’m surprisingly good at clothes, I can draw semi realistic eyes, mouths and noses individually but when I try to put them together the proportions become skewed. I cant draw headshapes for the life of me either. When I use references I have a hard time drawing anything different or changing anything, does anyone have an advice for how I can get around this and improve all around?
Where can I find the reference picture that he is using?
Not related but have you ever thought about being an audiobook voice? Haha weird compliment but it’s very relaxing to listen to
Hey Josh! Came to your channel recently, loving every video so far! And already buying your brush pack, thanks for that
*actually, in this video you do separate the reference layer from the "final" one. But in the others ones i see u using the same (or at least it seems like it)
Its something that will grow with experience. For drawing I only use one layer unless I have something like a hand that covers important features, then I will put that on its own layer. Otherwise for finished paintings, I use seperate layers for light/shadow/color/foreground/background/ and even midground. If the painting is complex, I will even break individual parts into their own light/shadow layers as well.
What programme/app is this?
Can you help me to find a sketch brush please
Any plans on releasing your podcast on spotify or the apple podcast apps?
Waiting on them! It takes forever :/
I waited 18 minutes for you to put color on the right cheek... I don't know why but it was driving me insane lmao
What are you drawing on is that an IPad Pro??
I wanna do cartoon drawings and concept art, is it really okay to do two completely different art styles?
I know a artist I love @momosemt who has a main style but legitimately has drawn in over 30 different styles over the years, it’s totally fine!
My art style is a mix of cartoon style and realistic style
everyone has a style they just don't know it. its the little ways you structure something.
What brush are you using to outline the sketch? 💙🌻💙
Pen pencil brush!
I really love your style man what would you call it so I can find other similar artists? I really like this and it's making me want to draw again you're really good man
