This makes so much sense, I can't believe I never saw it that way and just blindly mindlessly believed what everyone was saying that you couldn't do it that way, I just got demotivated and stopped trying altogether, feels so foolish that I would do that, without even trying.

Not only that but when I was drawing I would avoid copying, and basically stay with this mindset that if I want to draw anime I need to tackle realistic anatomy and everything instead of just the fundamentals as that post explains so I wouldn't even want to get started.

Really grateful for whoever put this collage of posts together, this is eye opening right now in my current creative rut where I haven't even put pencil to paper in a year or two because of how demotivated I was, now I see where my thinking was flawed and based off the false impressions of others, It seem I had the right idea at the time, but thought it was wrong and so I gave up because I had no interest in drawing realistically- realistic characters and anatomy as a precursor to drawing anime characters like everyone kept saying you needed to, and so I gave up drawing altogether.

I really wish these threads were around back then but as I remember /ic/ had an intense avoidance of anime at that time for some reason, it was always just "MUH LOOMIS".
