Style

I find that when I look through the newest art here or on other art sites… I get bummed.  Bummed not in the sense of “I can’t draw”, bummed in the sense of “what’s my style”?  Others seemed to have honed and refined their art skills.  Whether it’s in their painting, design or over all look of what they draw, it’s something that they own.  They’ve made decisions based on influences as to how they want to art.  Me?  I feel sort of lost most time.  Like I don’t know what my style is.

I’ve always drifted around following one artist or another, being in awe of their skills.  Pulling techniques out and mimicking to learn but never really deciding on how I want to draw.  I like so many styles that I find it hard to dedicate myself to just one and focus on it.

I feel like I’m sort of pulling a scam.  I can draw… but I feel lost and don’t know what I like in my own art.  I very much enjoy the art that I do, don’t get me wrong.  It’s just, out side of work when I can draw how I want, I just feel lost.
