too bad this ideology doesn't work otherwise all proprietary programs would be considered "plagiarism"
hiding behind close-sourced code never seemed to a problem for artists until these AI came around
i don't see anyone on here complaining that Photoshop is a proprietary program

Somehow I doubt it.
What's with all the misinformation with beginners falling for the "How to Draw an Eye" meme or the Mark Crilley meme when in Guitar it's well known to just use JustinGuitar and that's it.
After him, you'll be comfortable enough to figure out things on your own and don't need anymore handholding.
We don't have that in drawing because we don't have that one specific resource that is so good that a beginner has absolutely no excuse to not improve because all these books and courses are all geared towards people who have been drawing their whole life and not for absolute beginners.

Drawing isn't any harder than any other skill.
Not to mention that it's a pretty vague definition.
What exactly are we talking about when we say drawing here?
Are we talking about drawing from imagination?
Are we talking about being able to copy something with good accuracy?
Photorealism?

No one really sits down and handholds the absolute begs so that they can "fish for a lifetime" if you know that quote.
They basically have to learn how to fish themselves when all it takes is one really good teacher to teach them how to fish.
We need a teacher that can teach an absolute beg the mindset of how to be an artist and how they can teach themselves how to draw.

Instead, we have memes like Mark Crilley who only care about money and squeezing dry all the ignorant beginners who don't know any better.

How the fuck does he sleep at night?
I hope he doesn't.
