Do you feel pressured to find one perfect Art Style? I spent 8 years on an on-again, off-again search for my style, only to realize that forcing myself into a rigid box actually led to Art Block and burnout. In this video, I share my journey: Discussing the difference between illustrators who need an art style for business (like books) versus hobby artists who just need creative freedom. I reveal how I finally found my current core style by allowing myself to explore and embrace the fact that most artists have 1 core style, but 100 others they play with behind the scenes to keep the spark alive. ▶️ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/melanie.mangold.art ------------------------------------------------- ▶️ PRODUCTS USED: • Kuretake Gansai Tambi Art Nouveau Watercolor Set: https://amzn.to/3JbUpXf * • Hahnemühle Burgund Watercolor Paper 250gsm • Caran d'Ache Luminance Colored Pencils (open stock colors) • DaVinci Kollinsky Brushes - Size 6: https://amzn.to/43KzGkh * - Size 3: https://amzn.to/3M190FL * ------------------------------------------------- *Those are affiliate links.
