Well, you could say that. My level of skill is not very great but I try my best to improve, since living from art is my most important goal right now, more specifically as a concept artist. That way I can give non fail mechs to NCsoft lol (sting x legs and core are so fail...and aerobolt too for that matter)
I think i migth have been misinterpreted. It´s ok if you want to develop a personal style of yours, and It´s quite true that even if your style is not of someone´s liking, it´s perfectly ok if you continue, however, even if the style you are trying to develop is very specific, in this case, anime, there are still some rules we have to learn as artists, and that are invariable at least if we want a good looking piece that is pleasing withing that style´s niche. By example I can focus on a comic-like style that makes the arms and legs longer than they are in natural, real life proportions, and faces a bit more elongated and that´s completely fine, but in order to transform, mold or stylize shapes of the human body, I would have to learn the real anatomy of human body, it´s correct proportions, how light reacts when inciding on objects of a specific nature in order to shade accordingly etc.
Besides, your growth as an artist is improved SO MUCH by learning these rules, because that way, you acquire versatility, that is, if you know how real life objects look like and you can depict them, later you can transform those objects into any style, in any medium, like anime style, cartoony, semi-realistic or whatever floats your boat.
Hope this helps ^^

I second that. if you need to know the rules above all else. Style comes after. Its only once you fully grasps perspective, proportions, anatomy that you can start creating your own distinguished art style.
Don't draw aimlessly. You need to draw methodically by using the proper techniques. It's not a matter of moving your hand wherever it pleases. Drawing is primarily about plotting down information. This information will guide you throughout your sketch.
Also while painting is cool and developing great coloring techniques helps. Mastering sketching is far more important. You can always find people who can color well.
Side note:
Today I printed some human body diagrams relating to the golden ratio phi. They are really useful. I recommend you apply this ratio to your drawings of the human figure. You need to keep in mind importance distances and proportions when drawing. And phi is a great tool.
