So after my experiment with the Harmony sketch pad I’ve had some small bursts of inspiration. I’ve actually been creating stuff *le gasp*

But I’ve also noticed something slightly disturbing…

Look at these. They are samples of what I’ve been doing lately. Do you see any kind of pattern or red thread between them?
If you do, please tell me ’cause I fail to see it…

All my favourite artists have their own unique style, and that style is usually the reason why I love them. They have something that sets them a little bit apart from the rest. And everyone who “makes it” as an artist or illustrator does so because they are special somehow.
Like this girl I know from school, Linda. She has a really unique style that she applies to everything she does. It’s simple but personal and you can recognize her stuff from a mile away. Walking past a poster she’s made, or an illustration in a window, I can tell right away that it’s Lindas work.

I have nothing like that. As it is now I’m just playing around all over the place. Not that I’m planning on becoming a famous artist or anything, but I wish I had a distinct style. Some kind of direction. A trademark I could practise to perfection. I’m rather great at one thing than mediocre at many.
But I have no idea where to even start.
How do you pick a style? Can you even do it? Shouldn’t it come natural? Gah, I’m so confused

Spring is finally here! There’s still plenty of snow on the ground, but the temperature is staying above 0°C even during the night now and it’s melting fast. I can even see my bike! Yes, I was stupid enough to leave it out for the whole winter… but I think I might be able to [...]
