what is this all about?!

So, tell me

One of the top questions I get from aspiring illustrators and designers is "how do I figure out my signature style?" or "how do I know if my signature style is good?" or "how do I stick out in the crowd?" What makes your work YOU can sometimes be a little bit tricky to figure out and define. Also, developing your "signature style" on your own organically can take years, it certainly did for me. I tried all medias under the sun until one day something clicked because I took the time to sort through my intentions and direction for my artwork. This workshop is going to present you with assignments and exercises to practise to speed up this discovery and development phase. I can't guarantee that you'll walk away after 4 weeks with a solidly fleshed out "signature style" but you will definitely be heading in the right direction!

Testimonials

What people are saying about this workshop!

“I LOVED Kristina’s Fast Forward Your Signature Style. It has been one of my favorite classes of all time to date. Kristina has a wealth of knowledge and freely shares what she knows. She gave numerous examples to make her point. But my favorite was the weekly exercises. She made them so much fun!!! I loved creating my signature palette, Pinterest boards and applying styles I liked to my work. I almost didn’t take the class because of a previous workload but sooooo glad I did. I feel like I now have the tools to hone my art and create a consistent signature style and I know why it is important to do so as well! I am a FAN. I highly recommend this class.”

“My experience was very good. I definitely gained more clarity regarding colours, useful exercises and my style in general. I would recommend this course to all the people who are still struggling with finding their direction and who are looking for their signature style when creating their art.”
