For those who are worried about having their own unique drawing style, spoiler alert: you already kinda have it. Let me explain, style is an accumulation of your culture, your tastes, your inspirations/influences, and your execution in a subject.

You can work your hardest, sacrifice a lot and give a lot of your blood, sweat and tears into something: only for it to not reap the benefits you desire. Sometimes, it's a matter of knowing the right people, being the right person at the right time and place.
