Copy to Create: Finding Your Style Through Inspiration
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Art is all about finding inspiration everywhere -- and sometimes, that includes other artists! This class is all about how to learn from someone else's technique or design and incorporate it into your own unique style, in a way that lifts up you, the artists that inspire you, and the community as a whole.
First, we'll discuss "copying" vs "inspiration," and then I'll outline a roadmap you can use to find your own style, starting with copying and learning from other people, then stretching your creativity and expanding your skills.
Then, watch as I put this process to the test! Through a few demonstration videos, I'll show you how I use this process every day to push my creative boundaries.
The most important thing you'll learn through this class is that copying isn't bad -- it's actually necessary to creativity! And if you follow these steps, you'll learn how to fuel your own unique creative juices for years to come.
