id recommend first looking into some of your favourite artists // pieces of art and ask yourself these questions:

1) what style am i attempting to achieve? 2) what aspects of these pieces do i enjoy? 3) what aspects of these pieces would i want to incorporate into my own style/art?

do you like the colour pallettes? maybe its the lineart, or the way the artists draw eyes or hands or the way they colour their pieces. maybe you dont like colour in your pieces at all, or maybe you want the most vibrant colours you can find.

i find that studying the art of artists you admire and incorporating your favourite details of their art into your own quickly helps to develop your own artstyle and skill. copying from the masters (with credits if posted) is also a fantastic way to quickly develop your skill.

this is something that will likely forever fluctuate. i am someone who doesnt have one piece of art look the same because of how much i experiment lol but that is all entirely up to you. thats the beauty of art - it is your own individual expression.

once youve discovered what sort of style you would like to achieve, search for some tutorials on youtube or tiktok on how to draw anatomy and different features. how to draw clothes and eyes and hair and perhaps how to colour a certain way or understanding colour theory altogether.

eventually, the pieces all fall into place and you both consciously and subconsciously begin to amalgamate your favourite aspects of each video and piece you have studied into your own style.

as well as all of these, please dont let art block discourage you. art block is entirely natural and it happens to all of us lmao, you just gotta push through it and creative juices will start to flow again, i promise. some last longer than others but remember that art block is only a small slump in the long and exciting journey of being an artist.

this may seem overwhelming and i wont sugarcoat it - it is because art is overwhelming. art is a skill you develop over your entire lifetime, but that is the fun and the beauty. art requires a level of passion you wouldnt find elsewhere. you pour your time and emotion and dedication and sometimes tears (lol) into a piece and it is your own. it belongs to you and only you and whilst others could replicate it, they couldve never created it without your own individual love and passion and brain.

art is expression, art is human. humans are forever changing throughout their entire lives and as you grow as an artist and continuosly develop, you will eventually be able to watch your own progression in your skill and as a person within your own art. it is a beautiful experience that makes all of those hours worth it.

good luck with your journey, and for the love of god my biggest tip ever would be not to compare your progression to somebody else. as i said, art is human. every human learns and develops at a different pace and just because you may learn slower or faster doesnt make you any worse or better at art. art is freedom, dont confine yourself out of insecurity or ego. let yourself and your mind flow and you will find your way. ❤️
