Being an artist goes beyond creativity and skill; it means also having a style that you are recognized for. We see this everywhere from historic painters like Van Gogh to the biggest social media influencers. But how do you come up with a unique style? We’ve asked the PicsArt pros, our Master Storytellers and Master Contributors, to share exactly how each of them has created their own distinguishable look to help you do the same.
Look To Inspiration
“Observe every detail of your favorite artist, how they finish the art, and try to reproduce it (as a study), and with practice, you will add details you like and automatically discover your style.” @tatianebelarmino
via PicsArt“My tip would be to gather as much inspiration as possible! Observe an image and take down notes of what you like or don’t like about it. Always remember, give yourself the freedom to experiment.” @jadez_edits

“Practice! Sometimes you have to try out a new style to figure out if you like it or not. Pushing yourself out of the comfort zone can be life-changing sometimes.” @codyketophotography
via PicsArt“Use your imagination. There are so many tools. Use/play with them.” @Heleen12
via PicsArt“Play around with different tools and filters and see what makes you happy. Experiment. You can always go back and delete things later if you don’t like them. Then try again.” @jcervay

“We grow and evolve every time we master a tool or practice techniques. I am always absorbing and practicing. Slowly but without pause.” @dulce56184
via PicsArtGive It Time
“The best thing is to keep playing around with different ways until you find what suits you. You will find that in time it will evolve on its own and become part of you. Get inspired by your friends and others whom you admire and keep trying and testing. Also try not to limit yourself. Always be open to trying new ideas.” @roxannegraziadei-fatta
via PicsArt“I think the more you force something, the less this thing arrives. Experiment and play with images.” @lillobalillo
Have Fun!
“Don’t stress too much about finding your own style, it often takes time and will probably come without you even noticing! So relax, let yourself be inspired and enjoy the creative process.” @whitecloud21
via PicsArt“Be spontaneous. [Don’t be] afraid of trying. When you find the style that suits you, you’ll recognize it right away.” @119sec
via PicsArt“I didn’t choose my style but my style chose me. It has to do with being spontaneous and authentic and just have fun, enjoy the process of creating.” @_ste_
via PicsArtYour artistic style is a reflection of you and your creativity. There are endless possibilities when it comes to what it can look like. Take your time, experiment with the PicsArt tools, and most importantly, have fun doing it! Before you know it, you’ll have your own unique style that you are recognized for.
