>>2753788if this is true, wouldn't it be easier to become a copy of some god tier artist, then branch off into your own thing?
like suppose i learn my fundamentals.. And i apply my knowledge towards an autistic master copy of some chinese, render-farm, Cryptids piece i find on Artstation. I keep doing this until i become a flawless imitation of that artist.
Wouldn't I just end up as a generic, technically skilled, render farm too?
And if that's the case, what's stopping me from just developing my own style over time?
