Stick to your own style, what comes from deep inside your squishy exterior, not a book. It's good to have referances though.
Don't let other people form your style, but do not close them off from inspiration and support, it is always good to ask around and get peoples REAL opinion. Avoid becoming anything close to a Deviantart Celebrity, who rake up a huge idiot fanbase who can't think for themself and never take the talent seriously, they never give good or useful commentary or Critique. The celebrities start building huge egos, closing themselfs off from ever getting better, because of those buffoons. Do it for youself.
You are never good, every artist has their flaws, they will never be perfect.. there is no such thing as perfect. If you like how your drawings turn out almost all the time you are doing something wrong, you're suppose to hate most of it within a few days or weeks and move on.
Don't close yourself to one thing, whats wrong with a good amount of young artists is stubborness, thank god I got over that phase so early. Sure you might suck at Paint, Watercolors, Coloring, techniques, or something else but you sure as hell arent going to get better sitting on your ass and moaning about it. Just shut up and do it, don't put up a bullshit fight claiming you hate it or just suck at it.
I could go on but I'm rambling nonsense at this point, hope hopefully you can make some sense out of it, its how I see things right now. One last note: Have fun, but at the same time bend over and get your ass torn apart.
