/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I'm not sure if I should ask this here, people tell me all the time to "Develop your own style bro" and "Don't try to compare yourself to other artists" but I'm a stubborn asshole, what is the best way of learning an artist's style? Do I try to draw his drawings from memory? or do I just draw like I always do but I translate whatever I have drawn to his style by using his drawings as references on how to style muscles/eyes/etc? any help would be deeply appreciated.
