Default Mistake or Style ?

In either drawing, music or another art, what indicates us that we are making a mistake or that it's just our own style ?

Doesn't that depend what the user or the critic is specifically looking/aiming for? One mess-up might be interpreted as wonderful by someone else, perhaps because the person enjoys the sort of creation you've made moreso than what you were aiming for. In this case, "art" is "art". It might be a mistake/failure to you because you weren't aiming for the outcome, or you don't consider the outcome as something with potential.

What's determined as a mistake to someone depends on how closely your methodology matches against the methodology of others. Perhaps you were trying to achieve the same results but ended up using an inefficient method that didn't even come close to producing the result you wanted. Seeing how this method would lack any innovation or desire of use by anybody else might indicate that it's a mistake.

There's also probably a better word than "style". It's not our own "style" to deliberate "those kinds of mistakes" we make. Unless someone interprets your entire way of creating a work of art as a failure, which is entirely possible.

It all depends on the creator. If the creator is happy with what they've made, then that's their style. If they're not, and it happens to stay anyways because you don't know how to fix it, are too lazy too, or any number of other reasons, then its a mistake. If, however, upon further perusal or listening or whatever, you find that you couldn't ever possibly change it, then its no longer a mistake, even if really is ****ty.
