Here is the number one question I’m asked. Ok, maybe it’s not number one, but it’s a huge one. “Lilla, how do I get a style?”
The short answer is that the more art you do, over time your work will merge and meld into one cohesive look. Right now, you may be concerned that you have many different looks. In fact, that’s a good thing, because your style will pull in all those different parts to form one cool, special, unique style that is truly you.
Maybe you already have a style but you want a style refresh, or are getting board. How do you learn more about yourself?
Part of discovering—or refreshing—your style is about making discernments. What are discernments? They are thinking about what you like and why. It doesn’t have to be judge-y in a bad way. It can be about what you are drawn to and why.
I want you to begin to think more deeply about what you love to look at. It’s a great way to help reveal your style. Your style comes from something inside you—almost like your aesthetic DNA.

Want to learn more? I’ve just launched a brand-new course in a series called Lilla’s Art Recipes. The first course is called Drawing Faces & I’m going to share my secrets on how to draw them in a fun, non-scary way, which anyone can learn. It makes a HUGE difference to your career when you can draw faces. But drawing is intimidating when it is taught the traditional way. You get better at drawing when the learning style is playful and inspiring.
Speaking of style, it’s a fantastic course to help you do just that!
