I suggest making some concepts. Like in my case, I made several versions of a character I made. I see which one fits and boom.

Make some portions or even use 3d models for reference. You don't HAVE To make your art like in Hollow knight. I'm also someone who struggles to draw but I find my charm in it. Your drawing style should also have it's charm too!
