In his work, Karel Musil mainly focuses on figurative themes. He has developed a distinctive style, which is characterized by fine, precise drawing.

He created more than two hundred exlibris for domestic and foreign collectors, which he enriched with free graphics. Karel Musil prints most of the graphic sheets himself in order to achieve velvety smoothness and sensitive colors.
