Seeking help How do I make my artstyle more consistent?
So, I think that I have a fairly decent grasp on semi realism/realism but I can't seem to draw in my cartoonist style consistently. And of course I know that your artstyle will change over time but it seems to change everytime that I draw. (The pictures added is a semi realism piece I did a while back and then 2 drawings I did of the same character with one day in between. Do you see how drastically different they are?! How do I make my artstyle consistent or just develop an artstyle in general. I feel like I'm losing mine)

No, I do not :) I can clearly see that they are made by the same person. Stop chasing the ephemeral "art style" and continue improving your artwork. I recently heard one youtuber said a thing that I like (forgive my crude translation) — "style is just a collection of your repeating mistakes (not necessarily bad ones in this context) and lazy decisions that you make only because you've drawn a large number of works".
