Kitty Crowtherová svojimi ilustráciami zachytáva podstatu pohybu a emócií s jednoduchou, čistou líniou a ľahkým ťahom pera. Jej štýl, ktorý nevyžaduje zložité skicovanie, sa spolieha na vizuálnu pamäť a zachytáva gestá a postoje, ktoré sa jej hlboko dotkli. Crowtherová sa nezameriava na reprodukciu reality, ale na nanovoobjavovanie skúseností a snahu o pravdivosť, pričom ju nezaujímajú názory ostatných. Jej tvorba vychádza z prežitých zážitkov, ktoré sa snaží čo najvernejšie zachytiť, pretože v nich nachádza krásu a jedinečnú energiu.
