Even out-and-out copying cannot but lead to "in the style of" - because during the replication, you'll see something you want to do differently. <br />Er - you were planning to do one style at a time??Margaret Cooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529035740804527176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858630.post-69208352970009116962012-03-16T11:10:42.900+00:002012-03-16T11:10:42.900+00:00first of all I'm not an artist - I'm happy...first of all I'm not an artist - I'm happy as long as I can draw sketches with rulers and geometric formulas... <br />But I have to say the 3 artists you want to "draw like" have to my eye 3 very different stiles. <br />There is Jane, she's rough/raw and colourful. Then there is Jim with the strong dominant black lines and wahsy colours and "small views". And last but not least Gillian with very detailed thin lined drawings with a few colour patches that keep within the lines and fill them completely and a wide view.<br /><br />I think you need to find out which of the three styles you want to use - or if you want to mix them.<br />The drawing you did is mostly Jane-ish, but not quite as you use double lines... if the tag is meant as part of it than the way the grey fills a seemingly random part is Jim's way, the precision with wich the pattern on the little tag is drawn reminds more of Gillian, though the abstract curls etc are more Jane. It's really hard to put that all into words.<br /><br />Ahh well I have too much time .. and I hope my babbling made some sense to you and I hope it helps you meet your challenge.Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456092236170418634noreply@blogger.com
