/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I've moved to Japan to study authentic eastern Anim* tradition. Currently being taught by an old Anim* master, Sensei Kurintogichi Tomatokara.
He told me I will never make it as Anim* artist. Said as a filty gaijin piggu I will never be anything but a cheap western imitation of true eastern Anim* Art. He tell me this everyday, at first it didn't bother me. I thought this was Sensei Kurintogichi Tomatokara's. way of testing my resolve, or teaching me discipline. As all true Japanese sensei always teach in this way. However, lately I've begun to think he actually means what he says.

Here's a recent study done by me in his Anim* art dojo. Do you think he's trying to break me? should I give in? Please help /ic/, I'm so lost idk what to do.
