With all of the available softwares, it could be pretty confusing when you start out. Do you always need to create the models in the same way? The answer is no until you find a way of working that makes your work stand out.

I started with free hand drawing, which helped me so much for both interior renders and graphic design projects. Then I learned how to combine digital art and finish up my hand sketch in photoshop. That is one option that can make your work different as it is a mix between hand drawing and digital work.

I would say that photoshop has endless opportunities. It has plenty of features, especially useful is to learn to use Filters- then your drawing can turn into any style you want!

I don’t use Illustrator as much, but I prefer it for vector graphics. The point is all softwares can give you a different style and you need to experiment and determine what your style will be. You can focus on using only certain colours/ adding lines as a frame / using the same background in every picture or determine what your “signature” in the drawing will be.

When people see your work, if you keep a constant feature in every work you do, you will start establishing a style. Your work will be associated with this feature, no matter what the topic is. Have a look at another useful thing I do on my social media:

- I use framing for some of my artwork, it always has my logo and white frame around. It makes the work tidy & looks better.

So sum up:

-continue to experiment with softwares until you find what is useful.

-try different approach to creating a design ( A few times I even created a painting on wood)

-establish a constant feature within your work( colour, particular pencil, background, framing)

-try out “Filters” on Photoshop.

- when you work with 3D software, export the 2d perspective render and give it a go in Photoshop.
