As somebody who has been radically shifting my art style all the time, I don't think it's that important that you HAVE to like your art style. A friend once told me that one of the worst things that can happen to an artist is being too attached to something too early. Considering that I have been able to critique a person's style, it's potentially worrying. Sometimes, they go super-defensive and shut themselves off from any possible critique if somebody can actually bring up very good points about a person's 'style'.



IMO, it's much easier to improve if you don't worry about having your own style. I once heard from an art professional that the essence of an art style should come from exactly what you want out of your art. If we disregard techniques and other stuff, our style will only be whatever happens to be stuck with us, and results won't be as satisfying. I can argue this goes for even anatomical styles. Even if we're dealing with FiM-style, almost every detail of their anatomy style I've noted is totally purposeful and designed towards a very specific goal.
