Steal Like an Artist is a great little book by Austin Kleon.
"A wonderful flaw about human beings is that we're incapable of making perfect copies. Our failure to copy our heroes is where we discover where our own thing lives. That is how we evolve.
"So: Copy your heroes. Examine where you fall short. What's in there that makes you different? That's what you should amplify and transform into your work.
"In the end, merely imitating your heroes is not flattering them. Transforming their work into something of your own is how you flatter them. Adding something to the world that only you can add."
