But it's too hard!

I can draw people quite well if I'm doing observational, realistic drawings, but not in cartoon styles. For example, my entire A Level project was realistic portraits and-self portraits, but I can't draw a Pokemon/anime version of myself :| darn you, fine art training

Isn't that usually the opposite of what usually happens? xD A lot of people find realism harder. I actually think it's easier, since the objects are right there in front of you. Cartoon styles are very subjective.
