So good! I was about to comment on how I loved your style...and the Powerpuff one...and soon I realized I loved them all! I can see the similarity in style between the "your style" one and your surfer.
"Genevieve, I've been drawing, following tutorials, doing challenges and courses, all the things⦠and I still haven't found my vibe.
So WHY on earth do you think this challenge is what will help me?"
Aaaah, yep. That's fair.
I took approximately a bajillion courses when I started my own journey. They were either all about what that one teacher was doing, or way too vague and floofy.
That's not how my brain works (and if you found me through YouTube, I'm guessing it's not how yours works either, haha π
)
So I set out to actually understand style, and built a framework so clear you literally can't miss it.
It's built on the 5 elements of style, the blueprint behind every art style you've ever seen.
I tested it with a small group first, and holy cannoli, the results! Within a week, people were noticing things in their art they had never seen before, whether they'd been drawing for a few months or for years.
What's inside
7 chapters to move from "drawing" to "drawing like me"
Each chapter revolves around a style-related question, and follows the same three-step structure:
Discuss
A mix of theory and thought experiments to get you thinking about style in brand-new ways.
Observe
Learn about what you like by observing the world around you.
Challenge
Close the chapter by drawing from a prompt, and compare with other artists doing the same.
The (Kind Of) Magic Formula
The big question: how do you find your style? (and also... is style even something you can find?)
Looking around
Why references matter for both information and inspiration, and how to use them well (and legally!).
Solidifying your artistic identity
Tackling some existential questions and exploring the style continuum.
Can an artist exist without a style?
Can you have multiple styles?
Learn from the masters
A quick (and painless, pinky promise!) overview of the stylistic movements that shaped the art we know today.
Style in characters
Applying everything from chapters 1β5 to characters (aka one of your biggest style opportunities)
The journey to your style
Style isn't linear! Here's how to keep yours evolving, and what to do when things get hard.
π
This isn't a buy and do once kinda thing
The workbook is built with a spiral path so it can be done over and over again, each pass showing you something new.
How the challenge works
- 1 Start right away. Chapter 1 and the community are available immediately. No livestream to wait for, no app to install.
- 2 One video chapter unlocks each week, so everyone moves together and has time to actually do the challenges.(The full written workbook is yours from day one, if you're too eager to get going!)
- 3 Post your challenges in the community and notice how your work is different from the rest. This is your style showing up!(Pssst... I'm in there too!)
- 4 Decide how much time you commit. Each challenge takes 30 minutes to a few hours depending on how deep you want to go.
- 5 Don't worry about getting behind, once they unlock, the chapters are yours forever!
Style really smacks you in the face when you see it like that, huh?
The true magic of the Find Your Style Challenge is the community where you get to compare your results with other artists who worked from the same starting point.

What early access testers thought
The workbook has changed my perspective of style immensely, and I would recommend it to all artists.
Well written with fun exercises that get you out of the comfort zone while learning to bridge the artistic gap and make art that makes sense to you!

QUESTIONS?
FAQ
Is this a course?+
No! It's a challenge, so a mix of short theory, reflections and drawing exercises, with videos to guide you through everything :)
What level is this for? Do I need to be βgood enoughβ first?+
You need a grasp of the basics before starting this challenge.
It's not for total beginners: it's about drawing with more fun and intention, not learning how to draw.
How much time will this take?+
Each chapter has 10β15 minutes of videos + a challenge that takes anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on how intense you want to be with it.
One chapter unlocks each week, then everything is yours forever.
Where's the community? Do I need to install anything?+
No installs. The community lives inside your It's Drawing Time account, right with the videos and workbook. There's a chat area to meet other artists and bounce ideas, and more "official" threads for each challenge.
Will you critique my art?+
No, this isn't a skills course, so there's no constructive criticism. BUT I am active in the community, and I'm happy to answer questions about your style, and help you notice what you already have going on in your pieces.
What if I already kinda have a style?+
Strengthen it! The challenge will help you double down on what's working, and throw away what isn't.
Will this tell me exactly what my style should be?+
As much as I'd love to open a style shop or become a stylesmith, no one can hand you a style (boo!) Instead, structured experiments and reflections will help you see your own preferences more clearly so you can make intentional choices.
What do I need to follow along?+
Whatever drawing tools you usually work with! iPad, pencil, pens, paint. It doesn't matter!
Note: the challenges will sometimes invite you to try new mediums, so there will be plenty of time to experiment with that new set of markers you bought but haven't tried yet.
Are there captions?+
There are English captions for all videos. Need another language? Submit a request to [email protected] :)
Can I get a refund if it's not for me?+
I HATE the idea of people buying from me, and realizing the product isn't a good fit for them after spending their money. So if it's not for you, I'll refund you within 14 days of purchase. No questions asked (although feedback is always appreciated so I can make my products better and better!)
