If you want to be an expert, don't copy. You have to find your own style and methods of folding and designing. This means you have to take the time to sit down with a piece of paper and just fold. If you observe the works of great origamists like Satoshi Kamiya, Robert Lang, Hideo Komatsu, Shuki Kato, Eric Joisel, Tomoko Fuse, etc, you can see that each origamist has their own style. From my experience, Robert Lang's design concepts just barely scratch the surface of what's possible, so don't rely on his ODS book. I'm not saying you shouldn't read it—you should— but just keep it in mind that there are so many more design concepts to discover.

First, when I want to design an animal, I make sure I have a reason for picking that animal. Am I legitimately interested in the animal or am I just picking that because it looks complex? Do I appreciate it and do I feel a connection to it? If it passes all those tests, then I go to google images and look at hundreds of pictures of the animal. Then, I go to youtube and watch videos until I feel like I have a good understanding of EVERY detail of the animal. Then, I search it up and read about the animal on wikipedia, etc. After all that, I select a few photos on google images and use them as a guide to start getting ideas of folding possibilities. Throughout the design process, I always have photos or drawings in front of me.

If you're in it just for fame or whatever, you might as well not start. Otherwise, to get your origami to spread around, you need to make sure your art brings value to the community. That usually means you need to diagram at least a few of your models. Upload your work to communities like snkhan, youtube, flickr, your own website, etc. Most of all, design really great work. As for making crease patterns, I use inkscape, but do research to find out what is best for you.
Lastly, don't give yourself unreasonable expectations or you will feel bad when you don't achieve them. Be creative and don't be afraid to learn new things.
