Finding your illustration style is supposed to feel like a relief. Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is simply the moment one particular version of your work gets rewarded.

You make something different. It gets more likes, more comments, more enquiries. You think, “Maybe this is what I should be doing.” Naturally, you repeat it.

There is nothing wrong with repetition. Repetition is how artists learn and how a visual language develops. But there is a difference between repeating because there is still something to discover and repeating because the algorithm, clients or audience approved of it last time.

That difference can be surprisingly difficult to see from inside your own creative process. You can become so focused on figuring out what people want from you that you give yourself very little space to discover what you actually want to say.

If you have been worrying about finding your style, building a consistent illustration portfolio or becoming more recognisable, I’m running a free 3-day Creative DNA Experiment.

We are going to look at the whole problem from a different angle and give you space to explore what you’re about.
