Really intricate beautiful art. I'm at a loss how to study for this. Do they do like a bunch of 1 hour studies then 1 long illustration that takes 2 weeks, or do they just keep grinding illustrations back to back?

I just picked an image of the style I want to emulate.
Right now I'm just so uniquely haunted by the word "goofy" kek it's all I can describe my style and faces. I don't mean for people to be negative, I'm also interested in the kind of aesthetic people are going for. I feel like "cute" and "sexy" are opposites, no? And "blog?" Is a comfy compliment but so vague. I feel like "refined" is a very specific compliment I'd like to evoke, as opposed to messy or fluid.
