EXERCISE: To look at which artists inspire you and where your personal style derives from.
This exercise is different then the previous ones on CoCo. This one focuses not on art fundamentals or tips/techniques on creating concept art. This exercise focuses on YOU as an artist. Where do your influences and tastes come from? Who are the artists that have made an impact on how you create your art? These are great questions that when answered, gives you a better look at your own style and where it derives from.
Where did this idea come from? Full credit goes to Mel Herring, better known to the art community as PurpleKecleon. While at the ACEN convention last weekend, Diandra and I got to meet Mel and after we were talking for a while we got on the topic of giving credit to the artists that have influenced us. And this is where this exercise began. I believe it’s a great way to also showcase how to use your influences rather than directly coping from them.
GOAL: To realize your influences, tastes, and knowledge on what creates your own style!
This will give you a reflection of your own work and be able to recognize who influences your style.
