Stylishness

   Even in things like paintings, where the emphasis is less on line work, you can see the artist's own drawing style coming through in the composition. Even with the old masters, personal style is impossible to overcome. The perceived talent comes from the layouts, and the use of light and color. There's a lot of techniques to be learned in those fields, so even for a good artist it would take some work to become a master craftsman. Even if it's clearly in their style.

   Style is not bad. I'm not saying chase after it. I'm saying ignore it. But, don't ignore it. But, ignore it.

   I'm saying, you've already got your own style, so you don't need to chase after it. Unless you like wasting time. If you don't like your own style, don't think it's bad. Learn what you do well in it. You're not a big fan of your own voice or style, but you learn to accept it. Recognize your style as being uniquely you so it hopefully adds to your brilliance (brilliance sold separately, your results may vary.) See beyond it, if you pay enough attention to it, so you can see which parts are your mistakes and which parts aren't. Instead of ignoring it to see past it, you should pay attention to it. Study it carefully.

    You see your own mistakes, sure. But if others see your style and think that it's pretty groovy, it won't be bad for you as long as you're good. They'll try to emulate it, some of your techniques or the style itself. It's your style and it may come off as bad to you but then it would be something that they couldn't do so it would be good. There must be some way to look beyond style. Handwriting is to drawing skills and how your voice sounds is to your singing voice. If that makes sense.
