Finding Your Illustration Style Through Iteration

Thank you for this tip! I got so pissed off by an 18-minute art video I watched before this that was useless for me, and this really helped better my mood and an actually helpful tip! I hope I can use this. :D

The art teacher I needed

Veeery nice video

i love this and I know i need to do this - just draw the same thing over and change it! its so simple and yetttt idk somehow i still havent done it lol goals

I just found you yesterday about the zines, now that I visited your channel, your last post was 2 years ago, but your vids help me a lot ❤ Where are you?? 😂

Thank you for sharing this technique. I've been trying to draw stylized people and scenes from photo references but they always came out too realistic, not like the stuff I draw from imagination. (I already have a style, but I have difficulty enforcing it while I'm looking at references.)
I understand now that I've tried to skip steps! I expected to achieve my goal in drawing #1 or #2. The impatience always comes back to bite me :)

OMG, I've been looking for tips to find my illustration style for years now and this is really helping me. Simple, and yet it works wonderfully

Great idea/tip. Thank you.

I wish this channel would come back! He’s entertaining and I like his illustration style.

Thank you, the only cool vid out there on findng your style til now

You are amazing, Greg.

Thanks for sharing a simple idea that " Awesome " !

This was awesome. Thanks for making this video. I have to try the 7 time drawing method.

Come back bro. You can't just dip out like that.

Such a cutie 😍

Thanks for this video and for using the word iteration applied to illustration and art. My partner is a computer scientist and he said to me several times about iteration being the word for this kind of process and we talked how people commonly think it is a waste of time and judge your time management as wrong and don't understand the development process. This way of thinking destroys a lot of possibilities.

Thank you for sharing your process, and going over your own personal set of specifications regarding the technique in practice. Super helpful and applicable to my own process. TY for the work you put out, your work has paid off. :)

i love you

u got milk on your mustache

Love this, very helpful

Excellent and on point. Question, what would a graph of your satisfaction against your fatigue look like. One takeaway is for artists to work on their stamina, how to hold focus and energy without forcing ourselves into burn out. It's hard to keep going, especially when there's a "pretty good" on the page. Especially then.

Big fan of your art/channel, I just subscribed !!

That pointer! I am here cause of that orange hand.

What about 5.

Great exercise! ❤️ now I just gotta try it and repeat!

Your videos are so good, they are so helpfull and perfect for quick inspiration or exercises!!! Thank you!

This is awesome!

wow dude!! you are rocking it with the way you explain all the techniques in your videos. this is so so so helpful!!

I love this. I figured out a few years back that my first character designs are always trash, but after like 12 versions I love what it becomes. I'll try your trick for sure! I love your channel!

Dude this is the best practice about style i have seen on this vast wilderness

Love this! ❤
I hope you're OK and hope you'll keep making videos!

I will try this

This was such an interesting method. I'm definitely going to test it.
Are you using the reference photo for each of the drawings, or only for the first one?

i like your art work.

who knew greg kletsel was so handsome

i'll take the advice to heart cheers pal

This is awesome. I'm trying this. Thank you!

This exercise is straight to the point!

I have sort of also started my illustration journey recently. I've always been drawing, but in my start twenties I was super focused on becomming a good graphic designer. Now that I have that, and a stable income, I want to go back to drawing like nuts and make it part of my career. Feels like I've been turning my back on my most creative soul for years.

I really appriciate this video, thank you!

I ALLWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS, ALSO WITH A NON COMIC ART!!! I LOVE IT!!! But i was affraid
its narrcistic :D

Thanks so much for this. I have been trying to figure out how to improve at simplification. I've gotten okay at copying stuff realistically and when I try to simplify and stylize it, it always ends up sucking quite a bit. After watching your video I realized my mistake was trying to jump straight to number 7. The images I was trying to stylize, I wasn't drawing them realistically even once. Realistic drawing was a whole different exercise for me. What you've shown makes a lot of sense! Thanks!

So helpful for us overthinking types. Thank you.😊

Cool mustache

This video was recommended to me by an art teacher. I’ve only done the exercise once so far, but just doing that has made my dislike for drawing people shift into a curiosity and sense of fun. I already see how doing this even a few more times is going to help me find my people drawing style after many years!
