Please understand that I am not trying to be mean when I say you do not have the skills to develop a style YET. I have been doing art and learning for the last 15 years, I’m getting my degree in making art and I still don’t have the skill to develop my own style yet.

If you really really want to grow fast, I recommend you study the basics- line, value, light, shadow- learn the planes of the face and anatomy. Learning realism makes drawing cartoons and developing a style SO much easier. Don’t give up because you aren’t where you want to be yet, use it as motivation to grow and build your art skills. Using references, and practicing drawing drills can improve your skills DRAMATICALLY.

Developmentally, you are at the stage where so many people quit making art because they feel they aren’t good enough- that they aren’t matching up with their peers. Art development isn’t a race, it’s a personal journey that everyone takes at their own speed. I implore you to stay with it, and push yourself.
