Discussion: artistic style

[mekare]

So, I‘ve been looking at my art and was wondering how to develop a style. I experiment with different media which is fun but it always leads to such different-looking results. Which can also be fun but I think I want to try make my art more recognizably me, you know? So, seeing as several of you have a strong style, what did you do to develop it, did it happen by accident, did you make deliberate choices? Do you have artistic styles that inspire you or even artistic idols?

Should I focus on getting better at the basics like anatomy or backgrounds first? I really want to push my art skills this year but I’m wondering what direction would make sense to focus on. (Maybe not style at all? Maybe that’s more of a long term goal?)

Challenge #17: Daniel Sousa, Agent Carter

Title: Santa Monica
Artist: dirty diana
Rating: SFW
Fandom: Agent Carter
Characters/Pairings: Daniel Sousa
Content Notes: brush pen art for the #17 - Disability Diversity challenge. I figure swimming is probably out of the question with the 1940s prosthesis but Sousa can still enjoy the California view? Also I did fashion research and discovered that Hawaiian shirts were genuinely a thing at the time, and not just the AC wardrobe department happily trolling Enver Gjokaj.
