Discovering your illustration style: Building an inspiration folder

In todays current climate the market for visual art is saturated with talented artists and illustrators. So discovering your art style is key to standing out from the crowd!

Join illustrator, Ocean Hughes for this class which will teach you her process for discovering her illustration style.

Whatever type of creative practice you may have. This class will help to offer you a fresh approach to your work. This class will be useful to those of you who are just starting out on your creative journeys, but can also be helpful to those of you who are already established, and just looking to broaden your field of work.

One of the most asked questions Ocean gets about her work is “How did you find your art style?”. The fact is that everybody wants to find their own voice in their work. When your own personality shines through your work, your work will have a much stronger impact on your audience and will generate more appeal, and therefore commission.

If you are looking to work in the field of commercial illustration, clients will very often tend to only commission artists who have a much more defined sense of style. This is just because the client knows what to expect from these artists. A defined art style will help you get more commissions and allow you to build a name for yourself!

The skills you will learn in this class apply to endless scenarios. We will learn broad core principles such as observation, practice, application and development. Which will help you hone in on the type of creative you want to be.

The only tools required for this class is a pencil and paper, and access to reference material; such as the internet or books. But feel free to tailor this class to better suit your needs. We encourage you to be experimental, use paint, collage, printmaking… the possibilities are endless!
