How to Develop A Unique Illustration Style


In order to be successful in the competitive illustration market, you really need to stand out. There are so many talented artists out there, all chasing after the same opportunities. If you want the art director to notice YOU, you have to be unique.

I still consider myself fairly ‘new’ to the children’s illustration market but I do feel as though I’m becoming more established every day. I receive work on a regular basis and feel fairly confident in my style. I’ve received quite a few emails asking me how I developed my illustration style. This is a tough question but I’d like to try to tackle it for those illustrators wondering where to start. I may not know everything, but I’ll share with you what I’ve learned along the way!

1. Practice, Practice, Practice!
The more you draw, the better you’ll get. It’s important to draw A LOT in order to become successful at any style. Before worrying about what makes you unique from other illustrators, just practice your art and perfect it. Draw in a lot of styles. See what you like and don’t like. Try lots of different media: acrylics, watercolours, pen and ink, digital, and more! Try not to refer to other artists too much and create from your own imagination. You don’t want to subconsciously start copying another artist’s style. You won’t be doing yourself any favors by copying another style as that artist is already out there and they are likely to already be established in that style. No need for two of the same artist!

2. Choose Your Medium.
Review all your work. What medium appealed to you most? What was most fun? If you love what you’re doing, you’ll do it the best! If you notice you had a great knack with watercolours and enjoyed that the most, then maybe that is the best route for you. Digital art is becoming increasingly popular but you shouldn’t pick that route simply for that reason. You MUST pick what you love most. This is the key to doing the best art possible.

3. Identify and Emphasize.
Once you’ve chosen your preferred medium, you need to make yourself stand out in that medium. For example, observe all your watercolour work and try to notice elements about your work that occur in each illustration. Do you draw with very loose, free lines or are you really rigid? Do you like to use a lot of pastel colours or strong, bold colours? Do you like to draw your characters very abstract or do you tend to make over-emphasize features? Take notes about these trends. I would then advise to emphasise them. Play around with them and see where you can take them.

4. Do Your Research. Know Your Market.
After getting a bit of a sense of your favorite medium and your personal trending as an artist, you need to place yourself in the market. What kind of work are you looking for as an artist? Are you looking for work in publishing? If you’d like to become a children’s illustrator, research other children’s illustrators that are working in the same medium as you. How is your work different? Make it stand out from others that are doing a similar thing. You may choose to alter your style a bit after doing this research in order to keep yourself fresh and unique. But remember, to stick with what you love!

5. Find a Mentor.
Is there an artist you look up to? Someone who truly inspires you and is working in a similar market? Try emailing them for advice! I know when I started out, I received invaluable advice from other artists that helped form the illustrator I am today. Some artists may not reply as they may not have the time but if you’re lucky enough to get a reply, listen to their advice. It may be good or bad advice, but at least take it in and reflect on it. Experienced illustrators who have been working in the field for a while can offer amazing tips to strengthen your style and make sure it is unique to you!

6. Develop A Portfolio.
Once you’re more sure of your style and direction, you should develop a portfolio of a least 10 images. I highly recommend having an online portfolio displaying this work.

7. Be Consistent.
Although your style doesn’t have to be set in stone (artists do like to experiment!), it’s important to have a set of images in a similar style to show that you are able to be consistent with your work and  it’ll help you stand out as an experienced artist. This is another reason it’s important to love the medium and style you choose; you will be using the style for a while to come!




A Children’s Illustration Portfolio: 10 Things to Include

1. Your best possible work. Don’t include work just for quantity sake – make sure each piece you include is at your highest standard. Most people recommend you include 10-15 pieces.

2. A unique illustration style that draws you out from the crowd. There are SO many children’s illustrators out there that it’s important to have a unique style or approach that will help potential clients remember you. Differentiate yourself in a manner that is comfortable and natural.


3. Children with different expressions, moods, movements, interacting with other children.

4. Children in different settings. These settings can include children at school, on the playground, at home, at a pool party, and the list goes on!

5. Children of different ages along with parents, grandparents, teachers, etc.

6. Children of different ethnicities.

7. Animals.

8. Illustrations of different sizes and compositions. Be able to demonstrate your ability to work your illustrations into a book layout or a magazine article. Having examples of two page spreads or spot illustrations are important to emphasize your understanding of composition and design.

9. A series of illustrations with the same characters carried throughout. You may be able to draw an expressive, wonderfully charming character the first time, but being able to repeat this character many times is an important skill for picture books.

10. A business card and take-away samples of your work. Make sure both these items are reflective of your style as an illustrator in both design and format.
