There's a subject we need to broach, Kirito.

Your current art seems to consist of individual hand-drawn parts layered together onto a pre-made silhouette; a glorified dress-up doll. It has no depth, no character, no flair, and only the faintest impression of shading.

You're holding yourself back, dude. You have drive, you have potential; but you limit yourself to the barest of basics. You're never going to get better, or even have a chance at being one of the greats, if you don't push forward; ditch the bases and start learning to do it the right way. From scratch.

Your art is probably gonna look like crap at first, but that's how it always is. Especially when you've been using a crutch like templates for so long. If you're serious about your art, you need to take the training wheels off before it's too late.

With practice, over time, you will improve; and eventually you'll be able to do infinitely more than you can now.

End transmission.
