/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Are there any methods of "copying" another artist's style? I know it's good to develop your own, but I want to have a little fun drawing cute girls doing cute things in the midst of art lessons involving body shapes and squishy rectangles.

Pic related, this is what I want my art to look like.

Sorry if this upsets some of you guys, or if it's kinda obvious how to do so already.

I'm reading lots of Loomis/Vilppu already, and I kinda get how to emulate another style, but I just wanted to ask in case some of you have experience doing that already.

In the case of pic related, it just looks like the characters turn into partially meaty stick figures+big heads+nice, fruity coloring.

Artist is Takehito Harada in case anyone doesn't know/wants to know.
