Find Your Artistic Voice - 3 Tips to Develop Your Creativity | Adobe Creative Cloud

How can you find your art style? How do you know what to make or say? Can you boost your creativity? How do you find your creative voice, if you've lost your way?

Creativity is something we have in all of us. It's our ability to make novel connections between unrelated things. To draw out the beauty in everyday life and to create new things that don't exist yet.

Our creative voice is our art, and the more we have of it in this world the more meaningful connections we can find it in.

So how do we unlock our full creative potential? How do we develop our creative voice and find our own unique form of self-expression?

In this video, Matthew Encina shares the insights he found while attending Adobe Max 2019, on the topic of finding your voice as an artist.

This can't be stressed enough, each day you got to make something, doesn't matter what. Practice everyday, there's no other way.

I really needed to hear this. Thank you!

[maranhaoandre]

Every creative person, students and professionals needs to see this video and hear Mathew with open heart and mind.

This is my first time commenting on YouTube but I had to do it because this video was quite meaningful. I would say my creative voice is more towards making things look hand-drawn like hand-drawn icons, infographics, motion design, digital illustrations, etc. but sometimes I feel really discourage because my designs doesn’t look “professional” and there are some skills that I am not able to do; it sometimes discourage me from actually creating things. This video overall was very encouraging (especially 5:50) where I should focus on what I can do best instead of focusing on what I cannot do. So thanks Matthew for making this video!

On-point and helpful especially for self-awareness and rediscovering yourself. Also the greatest take away is "Be you. Everyone else is already taken."

Great video! Although not gonna lie it makes my eyes roll when people give the “just be yourself” advice :p
