Style Surge - Develop Your Own Illustration Style

Welcome to Style Surge! In this class, you'll learn how to develop your own illustration style specifically with regards to developing figurative illustrations and character development using templates.

I see many artists attempt their own illustration style, but they give up after creating just a handful of illustrations. Believe me when I say it takes consistency!

Now, you won't walk away from this class after watching only a few videos and suddenly have your own illustration style. BUT if you implement my proven methodology to creating your own illustration style and you do the work, you will absolutely get there.

In this class, you'll discover how to achieve your pre-requisite research work in order to set yourself up for success. This includes how to:

• choose a broad style
• narrow down your focus
• research inspirations
• create a moodboard
• identify your medium
• create a color palette
• establish a habitual drawing practice
• design character templates
• how to reference your templates
• drawing your final illustrations

Happy designing!
