Finding a Style as a (new) Digital Artist

This one's for the record as probably the most ongoing problem of any Art..

"Finding a Style isn't something that happens instantly or overnight....

Wrong! There's a little unknown fact that Everyone already has a style; just not quite the mindset, knowledge or technique to apply it to paper or tablet.. This is actually what they mean when it doesn't happen instantly...

Take this artwork for example; my first ever digital art commission from half a decade ago, objectively speaking it's terrible and I was willing to work on it a lot longer than 3 hours of stream time..
Zaph Art Commission 2021

Let's look at things now.. 2025 (2024)

"What does art from 2021- 2024 have anything to do with me finding my style"
Well if You really like Art enough to study what's happening here You'll notice really quickly not a lot has changed, it just took some picky choosy strokes and a little practise.

There were so many times; I hit that undo button, or decided to scrap an entire draft because I didn't like it, So many times to experiment with colour, contrast and complimentary triadic colours (red, green, blue but wheel locked to other colours e.g.  Yellow, Aqua Blue and Pink) It was worth it, subjective as it may be I'm proud of it and could have done far better; and also far worse, and that.. is the artistic paradox.

So there you go.. The way to "improve" your Style is not quite Time than it is

Practise..

Practise Practise Practise..

Go Check Out Places like Pinterest, Work on some Art Practical or Tutorials etc but do them with your own twist, download things you wanna see in your own art... if You really want to work on style; a ballpoint pen and a drawing book cost at most what $5?


Take a look at what I mean, You might see I do some things my own way but they are all pretty much individually unique.
