I've definitely changed from when I first started drawing. I only wanted to draw manga, because it is fun and because I loved the art style.
But then later along the line I got a lot of advice that said that was the wrong approach: I should learn to draw in the first place. Anatomy, proportion, perspective, composition, e.t.c
I agree that these skills are valid to drawing any sort of manga, but it sort of made me feel embarrassed for getting inspired by manga and anime for art. My question is is it a bad thing to draw most of your references from other manga and anime or should one follow the proper approach to learning how to draw to be able to draw manga and anime?
