So I want to develop my own art style.
I don't mind anime/manga art. It's rather pretty, but I want my own style.
But I don't know how to go about doing that.
Like, I'd love a cartoon-y style like this person. It's just so unique!
I don't want to draw like them, hell no. It's nice and all, but I want something to claim as my own. But there's is a great example. x3
But you get what I mean, right?
How do I develop my own? I know you can't just BAM draw like a certain way. Drawing is like speaking, in a way. You just... do it. Right?
So, how can I develop my own?
You know what I mean?
I'm not good at getting easily inspired, and I don't have a muse.
Perhaps drawing prompts?
I don't know.
I'm at a total loss for this.

Here is my dA if you guys want to see what I've done [ pfft ] so far.

Any ideas?
Any at all?
> . x;

EDIT;
I'm going to start taking requests, for anything!
Like a certain character?
Give me a picture of them and tell me to get off my lazy a** and draw them!
Want an avatar drawn?
Give me that avatar and repeat!
Want me to draw an animal!
I'd prefer it to be a cartoon!
Animated, etc!
But don't expect it to look great.
This is all practice that I really need. ; n ;
Oh, and it's all free.
Unless you wanna tip me [/shot]

I believe the more you draw, the more you develop your own style. First you have to learn all the basics of art such as line, tone, colors, etc. Also, if you draw more often, it gives you the opportunity to develop on your own style.

In other words, it doesn't happen in one night. Time and practice will get you to your goal.
