Do not worry about not having a style. Keep drawing and experimenting with as many styles as you please, eventually you’ll find yourself naturally gravitating towards a more specific look. My current style is not one i chose to have, and i am not trying to stick to it. its just what happens when i draw.

you can clearly see that @pinklilies made hers before @stardustcake. pinklilies also had another version that was posted on july 22nd i believe.

Good evening, I’m always open to questions or chatting!

I would say that my love for historical costumes and art started at a very-very early age, thanks to my mother. Being from Hong Kong, she was raised with a lot of European influence, and had relatives who enjoyed things with an 18th and 19th century style. When she had me, the enjoyment of those styles trickled over. My mother is also very worldly- stressing the importance of traveling the world, experiencing new cultures, and learning about history. She is also artistic, creative, and a wonderful painter. I had a very enriched childhood thanks to her. 

Influence also strongly came from me being raised in Oregon. I mean, Portland is famed for being really quirky, with this overall avant-garde culture. The people not only love art, but they love all cultures, and they love history. They embrace it with open arms. 

Here are a few painters I enjoy : Jean-Honoré Fragonard, François Boucher, Jean Baptiste Robie, Nicolas de Largillière, Jean Frederic Schall, Georges Jules Victor Clairin , Anthony van Dyck.

I don’t really have a favorite art piece. However I find myself more contemplative over paintings of people and especially old biblical paintings depicting saints or angels. Although where my passion really lies is seeing artwork from ancient civilizations.
