Cut-Out
Your style is simple, minimal, and abstract, you don't like getting caught up in nitty gritty details and prefer to focus on overall form, composition and color!Whether you're cutting paper, using watercolor, inks, or your favorite graphics software, you think about art and illustration in terms of the mood and vibe they create. This specific style has a lot of sub-styles, and you'll see a lot of variation between the approaches of different cut-out illustrators, but the main through lines are; sharp/ abstract edges, usually no facial features, and overlappying forms.As you develop your style, you might choose to fully lean into the prototypical cut-out style, standing alongside the likes of Anna Kovecses and Renee Gouin as you master this art form...ORYou could also choose to forge your own path and modify it, adding in other stylistic flourishes to help make it completely unique to you. I'm an illustration teacher and I help my students find and develop their unique styles, and one of the biggest messages that I want to impart on you, is that a strong style is something that feels special and unique to YOU! An artistic style is like a signature. You want your work to be so recognizable that people immediately know it belongs to you.
