For a while, I've struggled to find my 'voice' or 'style' for my artwork. Most of my works end up pushing towards photorealism even when I don't intend for it to be so. Any recommendations or exercises you could suggest to circumvent this?
Pic related is not mine btw
post your work and let's see.
why didnt you just post as the OP image...?
Learn design.
You will never be good at stylization, no matter how good you are at anatomy and perspective, if you don't know design.
Stylization is a language and you don't speak it. Learn design, visual rethoric and different aesthetic theories. THEN you will be able to communicate something with your art.
