ic style, so when the time comes to sit down and paint something for a job or even yourself you can have the confidence to paint on paper or take that photo with your own artistic style in mind so the number one tip for finding your artistic style is to copy the work of people who inspire you right now if you're clutching your pearls right now and you're in shock but I just said listen to me , okay, there is an obvious time when copying is okay and then there is an obvious time when copying other people's work is not okay if you are replicating someone's work and you are using it in any sales promotion or product and you are winning money with it or marketing it by talking about it as your own and without making reference to the fact that you are inspired by this or that person in this painting or by whatever, then that is wrong but when you are starting out and you are just learning the ins and outs and trying to develop your muscle memory, copying other people's work is absolutely necessary to develop technique and muscle memory if you think about it in terms of learning to play the guitar, for example, so many. new guitarists play Stairway to Heaven the Stairway to Heaven riff over and over driving their parents.

I say it probably and the same with any artist. This is taught in art school at the university. I didn't go to art school, but I. I know this only from other friends who have classes that are specifically for replicating artwork by masters like Van Gogh, Monet and Degas just to develop the muscle memory and technique of the artists, so copying is fine in that sphere, but you must be careful. you're not copying for long and you're definitely not copying someone's work claiming it as your own and making money off of that work or promoting it in some way, so that's tip number one, tip number two is obvious and it's simple, but it's to practice your little butt, you have to dedicate yourself to this craft or hobby or whatever you're learning to really increase your levels and raise your levels, but really build the muscle. memory and see results in your practice and if you're just starting out and you're looking at YouTube channels or people on Instagram and you see that they have this unique look in their work or how they learned to paint this or that in that style they had a lot of practice in their There is and unfortunately for you who look at people and feel like shooting, why not?

Why doesn't my work look like this? However, it's hard to watch, especially on social media. behind the scenes and the years of work that they have put into their craft to develop that muscle memory and develop their own style, so you have to remember that every artist, every professional, this or that musician, was once a beginner and they had to practice your swag to master your craft and develop your style so you're going to have to do that to practice your swag and then my final tip number

three
