I want to address the question of how to develop an original style, because I see both bad advice and good advice floating around in equal measure.

Bad advice: 'Just draw every day and your style will emerge.' This is technically true but so slow as to be useless. It's like telling someone to become fluent in French by spending time in France without ever studying.

Good advice: study artists you love deliberately. Analyze what they're doing at a technical level. Why do their lines look that way? What's their value structure? What's their color palette philosophy? Then try to replicate those specific choices and see what you actually internalize vs what feels foreign.

Your style will be a synthesis of influences filtered through your preferences and limitations. The 'original' part comes from the combination and from the things you're innately drawn to in how you make marks. It can't be forced but it can be cultivated by deliberate exposure and honest study.
