Y'know...
I'd seriously suggest you just stop doing M&L style so you can actually learn what you're doing instead of trying only to fit a set of rules to the style as if that's the proper thought process you should be having. It isn't. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. Your learning experience would be more beneficial if you'd do something else, so you could actually learn art concepts without these limitations and stylistic choices. You gotta know how things really are before you jump into stylized things, so that those stylized choices hold deeper meaning for you than "umm...they did it this way so I'll kind of try to imitate!"
And don't even say, "but I want to do this style it makes my stuff look nice and I like it!" No, you're not good at it. You'd get good at it faster if you did a custom style instead. Because then you could apply what you learned to the style.
