Your style isn’t a filter you pick. It’s what’s left after you stop trying to look like someone else.

CREATIVITY
Style is a residue, not a decision. It forms out of the choices you keep making, the mistakes you stop correcting because you like them, and the subjects you cannot leave alone, and you mostly notice it in hindsight. While you are busy imitating someone, their fingerprints cover yours. What remains after that borrowing wears off is the part that is actually you.
Put five things you have made in a row and look for what repeats without you planning it. Circle those habits rather than fixing them. For the next piece, lean on one of them on purpose and see if it holds weight.
Whose look are you still borrowing instead of leaving behind?
