You’ve probably heard this before, but the best thing is to practice! I’ll walk you through how I would go about adapting to the style of a cartoon.
So, I want to draw in the style of Rick and Morty. The first thing I’ll do is find assets like the one below. Search for [show name] turnarounds, character line-ups, storyboard guides, art bibles, etc.
If you’re lucky, you’ll find something like this: https://imgur.com/gallery/zsCra
Once you’ve compiled a bunch of different assets, it’s time to study them. Look for similarities between characters, and how the style allows characters to differentiate from each other.

As an example, here are the notes I made when looking at the Rick and Morty family lineup. I traced and copied some assets to better understand how the whole character is constructed.
Here’s my attempts at recreating an OC in the R&M style. Usually I draw with a pressure-sensitive brush, but I used a sold hard round brush this time for the lineart.
For fun, I took a screenshot from R&M and drew my character into it!
Here’s another really good example by wachtelspinat, turning The Midnight Crew from Homestuck into the style of the Simpsons:
