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?)

>>Yet even when I try to make my art less recognisable for anonymous exchanges etc it is apparently very obviously by me.

Ha, that sounds interesting :-)

I saw other people do the "guess which fanfic is by me" game and thought it would be fun to play with my fanart. Once :)
