Learn how to create your own illustration style step by step. One of the most repeated questions among those who start illustrating (and also among those who have been drawing for years) is how to find their own style. Sometimes there is even a certain anxiety around that idea, as if having a defined visual voice were some kind of requirement to be a "real" illustrator. But there's a problem with how we tend to imagine style: we think that it appears suddenly, like a revelation, or that it can be chosen just like a visual filter is chosen. And it usually doesn't work that way. Style is not found all at once. It is built slowly from practice, references, repeated decisions, mistakes and discoveries. It often appears before the person is aware of it. Therefore, rather than trying to "invent" a perfect aesthetic, it is often more useful to learn to observe what elements appear naturally in one's work and how to develop them over time.
