1.
Hallucinogenic drugs. I don't think my "style" would be anything it is today without them. Obviously not a requirement, but they sure helped me.
2. Draw from life. Not from Pokemon. From PICTURES OF PHOTOGRAPHS OF REAL ANIMALS. Real people. Real things. Real recognize real. Real shit. Real talk.
3. Look at a lot of artists you love, and study just what it is you love about the way they draw things. Light line weight? Great colors? Abstract, creative shapes? Don't copy any one artist, but it is more than okay to cherrypick from many. And don't you ever fucking worry about "getting called out" on it. If anyone ever does, laugh in their pussy-ass face. Their autisms are in a knot because they probably fap to one artist and then hiss at anything that looks even remotely like that person's art.
4. Last but MOST IMPORTANT, do not give a fuck. Not one. Not half of one. Do not even think about giving an atom of one. Pic related isn't my art, but is an example of someone who clearly did not give a single fuck, and it shows in their style. Now their style may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is THEIRS. THEY drew the way THEY wanted to. The only catch to this is that you do have to give all the fucks you were abstaining to the rules of art, e.g. color and volume and shape interaction and such. (Some styles eschew color and volume entirely but don't worry about that for now.) There was a very good "style tutorial" I am heartbroken to have lost, but it held these immortal words:
> Know the rules before you break them.Heed my words and use them wisely, Anon.
