Establishing your style as an illustrator is a great way to attract clients, gain recognition and build an audience. In this class, we will be drawing a character using Procreate while working on how you can create your style.

Finding your illustration style might feel like a huge endeavor, which is why I’ve broken it down into actionable steps:

Understand why having a style is important
Get the juices flowing with a fun exercise
Train your eye to understand your inspirations, surroundings and influences
Use that inspiration to generate your own style
Break down an illustration through understanding these basics:
- Fill - solid or textured
- Stroke - stroke or no stroke (style of stroke)
- Proportion - in proportion or not
- Colour - use of abstract or real
- Lighting - flat illustration, shaded or realism shading

This class is perfect for the beginner who wants to tap into the illustration side of design or someone who has been in the industry for a while and wants to better understand their style. However, don't worry if you are new you don't require any previous drawing skills as I will be including working files for you to use and help you through the class.

This class is useful as it will help you to get to grips with your style, but also give you a much better understanding of how you can justify your style, but also will help you when looking at the inspiration that would want to implement in your style. This is so important, as nothing is truly yours, as art is a mixture of many artists' work which is what makes it unique to you.

If you are wanting to start something new and amazing, I would definitely recommend this class as it is a real eye-opener.

I look forward to teaching you.
