What advices would you give to concept artists finding a unique style?

Finding your unique style and identity I believe starts with first finding inspiration from another place whether it be another artist, a video game, or even a movie.

It can be from anywhere as I started off doing cartoons, to comics, to fantasy drawings, and never believed I would get into horror as much as I am now.

So I definitely recommend experimenting with different genres and styles even ones you may think you wouldn’t think to until you find one that you can brainstorm the most unique ideas about and can draw best.

Once you think you’ve found one you can work with its best to stick with it as when you gradually develop it people will be drawn to it and recognize it as your unique style rather than doing to much of everything to a point people can’t refer to and recognize the one thing you’d do best. Then do some more research and discover the things that inspire you about it.

Once you’ve found your inspirations, begin to copy them almost exactly in the beginning.

Though when you get to a point you feel comfortable enough to experiment with your own ideas, try to come up with and draw original ideas. Though in the process think of the aspects and small things that either your inspirations did conceptually or technically that inspired you and pull those out to incorporate into your original artwork.

It’s very much trail and error at first but if you consistently practice, always keep an open active imagination, and try to think outside the box as much as possible while still keeping things relatively cohesive you’ll have your own unique style and be flooded with almost endless ideas for it.
