Copying photos to creating original art: How to create art with a unique style

Im just a copyist. Wow, that was something I didnt expect to hear as often as I did in our community research calls. But it came up. Again and again. My name is Carrie and I created Artist Strong to help selftaught artists build their skill and develop their unique style. To date, thousands have joined the community to learn and grow together. I remember when I first started drawing all I could hope for was to perfectly copy my photo. That was how Id know I was actually skillful and maybe even good at this thing called art. At some point along the way, the allure lost its glow. I still wanted to be skillful enough to achieve this, but I wanted to show more of my ideas, those pictures in my brain, in my art. Ready to stop copying photographs Heres your next step.
