>>5980427>For example why did Takehiko Inoue ended up being much more skilled and praised than his master Tsukasa Hojo despite starting drawing 5-10 years after him?Think of it this way: The master acquired his skill over 20 years of work, and was able to teach his student those techniques over 5 years. The student, now 5 years into his career and at a level that his teacher was at 20 years into his career, is able to evolve said techniques over the next 15 years, and so by the time he's 20 years into his career the techniques will be that much better.
Inoue will inevitably have students that surpass him, assuming he takes in assistants in the same way Hojo did, which I'm not sure he does. Anyway, I wouldn't say Inoue is that much better at drawing from a technical perspective, he's praised so much because his storytelling resonates incredibly well with his (japanese) audience, and he focuses on that -- the storytelling.
