A question for artists
Anxiety Support / by EllieEms

...See more Hello, so I'm a 21 year old college grad with a degree in Multimedia Arts.. However, I still don't have a defined art style. I feel like I didn't learn enough in uni. We had three sems per year and everything went by fast. My questions are: 1. How can I develop it? Where do I start? Should I first be good at drawing the human figure and then make it more cartoon-y because I'm more interested in that and now realistic drawings. We only had one freehand / traditional drawing class and the rest were digital (photography, video, illustration, etc). Being in the multimedia field didn't help because it made me interested in a lot of fields and styles. Now, I am not *SUPER good* at a specific medium, I'm like only *kinda good* at a lot of different media. It's giving me a lot of anxiety. It's all I think about, I think that I'm kinda panicking now because I will turn 22 soon and I've only had a small internship somewhere and I'm not sure if this is the best field for me to work in. Not sure if I even like it anymore. Taking art in college made me kinda lose my creativty in a way. We always had to think of what colors to use or something. We should always have a reason for something. It tired me out. So, this is sorta all over the place, but I hope you kinda get what I'm trying to say. I posted here on the Anxiety board because it's been making me feel terribly worried and anxious. Also my first language isn't English so forgive me. Help me please.

Ellie was most helpful and sympathetic and prepared to listen
very helpful
It's something that someone tells me things I'm too blinded about. TY, Ellie!
