How long did you practice getting your artstyle? I just would like to know so I can try experiencing different methods of drawing.
Honestly I didn't practice as much as analyzing every good art I stumble upon. Practice is a surefire way to develop your art style for sure, but I also noticed myself improving even if I draw like. Three times a year.
Pretty simple, it goes like this; I see an eye catching art, and then I try to think how they did it. What parts made it look 'good' to me? Sometimes I noticed the art was overlayed with texture, I noticed the lineart is colored with something saturated when it hits a light source, I noticed they added gradient to the base color, I noticed it's easier to render by multiplying the whole base color with something desaturated and then overlaying it with desired light source color, and so on, I just noticed a lot of things. It's just a habit to stop and stare when I see something cool now.
(Sometimes the art looks so good I got too intimidated to even think of analyzing it, but I try anyway.)
This is also true for drawing fanarts by the way! Do you know a lot of times Sans' socket's bottom ridge (that protruding thing near his nose hole) points in the general direction of the end of his mouth? This basis is pretty useful when you want to draw his skull from different angles.
My art style is just an amalgamation of other art styles, basically! I didn't set a goal in getting my art style or anything, it just sorta happens.
