Ok cool, that's definitely a great selection - they're all very exagerated cartooning styles, and Adam Murphy is probably my favourite of the artists mentioned - the ability to draw simplified forms of real people and still have them recognisable is a strong trait.
Loish is well known for having a distinct style, and mild subject matter, but a lot of that sort of work would fall apart without a decent background in figurative drawing. The other artists use highly exagerated forms so you can get away without being a pro fine artist. But, with simplified forms they have to be easy to read and identify and that's a skill to work on.
There are other members who can point out book titles or videos to look at for tips, but start posting to your Sketchbook, and let us see what you're working on. You could read for days but won't know what you know until you put it into practice.
