Advice on making fanart

hello krita community!! i need advice and suggestions!!!

i recently started on digital art and i’ve always been fond of people’s fanarts, and i feel like it should be easier than i think it is to start doing it myself, but i never know how to make it seem similar to characters i love or to draw them in my style (which i don’t even know what it is). even tho i love a bunch of 2d characters and want to draw them, i don’t usually draw in more cartoonish styles, i always tend to some semi-realistic/realistic portrait drawings and i never know how to make it more like them or in a more interesting way than the basic realism.

i would love to receive some suggestions on this topic!! any thoughts? sorry for the bad english idk if it’s not something understandable, sorry if it got confusing lol :confused:

Look what makes the characters unique and if you incorporate these unique features into your drawings they will be recognizable even in your style. Examples are the hairstyle of Guile form Street Fighter or the Tunic from Link from Zelda. Sometimes it’s an iconic hairstyle or clothing, sometimes a unique facial feature or body build.
