How did you find yours?
There are a lot of factors, which allowed me to find my graphic styles. For the character, I use an Anime style (as I'm a sucker for anime styled characters), which I kinda teached myself with the help of regular Anime drawing books, which show you how to draw the stuff. As for my indiegame styles, I don't really know how I find them exactly. I just draw one thing and make it look as good as possible and then base everthing around it (giving characters and backgrounds/tilesets their own styles). Just try something out, is how I do most stuff.
No matter, if you draw something with pixels or with a pen, your work will be always not so good in the beginning, but that's how I started. Over the time, you will improve.
This is one of my first pictures I ever have drawn... this is how I was, when I started (you can clearly see that):

First, I tried to copy the graphic styles from other game, I liked. Later, I found my own style somehow. I just think, it comes with the time and feedback you get.
