Do you ever sit there and wonder what your art style is?
When we talk about artists, we often relate them to a specific art style. Like, Willem de Kooning was an abstract expressionist artist, and Leonardo da Vinci became famous as a portrait artist.
Everyone has a unique art style. But how do you find your art style as a beginner?
Well, your ideal art style should be a combination of your unique voice, interests, color choices, preferred techniques, and more. It should bind each of your pieces together into a unique and cohesive collection.
So, how do you get started?
Read below to find out your art style based on your personality. After all, your artistic nature stems from your unique personality and attitude towards life.
Spiritual Meditator – Mandala Art
The mandala is a famous spiritual and ritual symbol that represents the universe. The circle in Mandala art symbolizes wholeness, unity, and infinity, which are often associated with spirituality.
Did you know mandalas are used as an art therapy? It’s believed that drawing a mandala can connect you to your inner self. You’ll feel something spiritual going inside you while drawing it.
The best part is you can choose any shapes emanating from the identifiable center point. Also, you can fill it with different colors of your choice based on your sense of self and view of reality.

If you’re an adventure lover, drawing your favorite brave character feels as exciting as seeing them on screen.

Nature Lover – Botanical Art
Do you have a unique fascination for plants and flowers? Do you love spending time in nature? Have you got lots of plants in your home? True nature lovers can excel at botanical art.
Initially used by pharmacists and botanists, botanical art has now become an inspiration for artists who love and respect Mother Nature.
Botanical art evokes positive emotional responses and brings you even closer to plant life. Just make sure you know a plant (that you’re going to draw) well before starting to develop a drawing or painting.

Fairy – Sensual Symbols
One of the best and bold way to express your thoughts and feelings is by drawing sensual symbols. You can draw provocative poses, exuberant nude figures, or anything you find related.
But to draw something sexy, you have to feel sexy. Otherwise, you’re likely to miss your mark. Draw something interesting, alluring, and engaging! Here are a few elegant and sensual ideas to get you started.
Aesthetes – Abstract Art
While aesthetes enjoy all art forms! But they have an intense liking for abstract art rather than representation art like portraits and landscapes.
Abstraction requires you to see with your mind what your eyes cannot see and understand. Abstract art requires an open mind and a wandering imagination, making it aesthetes’ alley. Abstract art enables artists to extract infinity out of the finite and explore unknown areas in life.
So, if this sounds like you, then abstract art is your ideal style. Just remember that this form of art is all about your wild imaginations.

Zen doodling is a form of drawing that allows you to create intricate designs with small patterns. It’s a great way to relax and experience calmness in a creative manner.
Well, there is no wrong or right way to Zen doodle. Simply let your imagination work, and your mind wander.
