Struggling to change my art style

I don't like my art style.

I've done the usual of "studying artists I like" and trying to pick up elements from them, but no matter what I do, I eventually fall back into old habits. It's very frustrating. Nothing seems to stick. I have specific goals and artists I like, even! And I can recognize an issue.

I know "style" is a bit misleading, but I do mean it in the sense of "I hate the stylistic choices I make". I'm aware of this, but everything I draw feels like it ends up with those choices no matter how much I'm trying to avoid them or trying to pick up something new or even just studying. How do I get out of the hole?

Please don't suggest changing medium! I don't have a laptop still, so I've already been forced to do that.
