Person Drawing

You will perhaps find that as you learn to draw gradually, you will mature your own drawing style in a natural way. Your individuality is unique, you watch things with a different eye to how others work and your hand muscles are dissimilar from others. So in a sense you might not be able to avoid developing your own style.

Honing you Own Drawing Techniques

If you feel that you don't have your own drawing style then try experimenting with a variety of styles, techniques and media until you find a style or a combination of styles that fits you.

You can read cases of other artists' drawing available on the internet or at the library. As you think less and less about your style and you arrive at the juncture where you can just draw you will hone up you own method with little efforts.

Though, it is essential to be flexible as an artist so you should aim to have a plethora of multiple styles in your gamut. Do not get yourself limited to only one style as this may make it difficult to get commercial drawing work and you will perhaps get uninterested.

It is important not to compare your manner of drawing to that of different artists, as there will always be somebody 'superior' than you and somebody 'worse' than you. Be inspired by others, but don't compare.

Developing versatility in drawing

Besides for developing an own drawing style, it is always nice to be flexible in your drawing to help boost up your motivation and to ensure that your job is worthy to be marketed should you desire to draw from a commercial point.

There are different methods to bring more versatility.

First is inspiration: You should acquaint yourself to as many diverse drawing methods as you can by glancing at art books and screening exhibitions amongst others. You could in addition try taking lessons from numerous teachers as each teacher has their own style of drawing and teaching which they will pass on to you.

You may well also be your own drawing trainer and set yourself different jobs with different purposes, aimed at different audiences. For instance you could assign yourself a project in which you illustrate a nursery rhyme, or design an art exhibition poster, or create a book cover. This will provide you with practice as well as material for a collection if you do want to move into commercial drawing.
