While I find this to be true for a large part of the fanbase, it's worth noting that artistic perfection isn't necessarily the goal of many people. If you really do want to get better at your art, then yes, real life figure studies and forays into the realms of artistic theory are important, but a lot of the people who draw anime without strictly adhering to certain artistic rules aren't doing it strictly to study art - they're doing it for the sake of having fun with it.failboat wrote:
You're claiming that anime/manga is hard to draw without a reference? You don't even need to follow any valid anatomy and proportions, the fanbase is too stupid to notice as long as its "kawaii W_W" and whatnot.
I don't feel you can fault them for failing to be something that they never aimed to be in the first place.
