Inspirational Artist - Nikko Barber

My respected lecturer just paid us a visit today and one of the student asked him a question, which I guess for every artist and illustrator at some point of their life will ask the very same question 'How do you find your style?'

When come to a style that is going to distinct you from the rest of the world, there will never be a written instruction on how to define and where to find your own niche. The possibilities is endless. It can be the technique you're using, the unique point of view you look into a ordinary subject, or perhaps something that comes from your heart. As for me, 'personal style' comes when you have imprint 'yourself' into your piece of artwork, especially your thoughts, your emotions and the way you see the world. People will feel your existence within the artwork itself.

Artist of the day, Nikko Barber, that has his own niche of rich earthy tones and folk art characteristics. His artwork can be viewed Here.

'A Conversation I've Never Had'
'A Person I've Never Met'
'A Touch of Evil'
To every illustrator and myself,
"Enjoy every bitsof the journey, it is the process and journey that build up your personal style. All the best!"
:D
