again, that dependes on each individual.. some ppl will just plainly copy without learning anything, so it will be completely pointless
never said that. keep reading, you will see. lol
that's not "copying", that's just using reference materials

I didn't say that! lol
Exactly my point, it just not effective way of doing things
LOL! I was just stating my honest opinion.. a mere logical analyse, no need to get offensive here!

ROTFL! you didn't get my point.. i said it can work with some ppl, ppl like Mashiro, you or me( & i've already stated that copying was the "key" for me) but it won't with most of them..
I think i know why we have such diverse takes on copying.. when you talk about it, you use pros such as Oda sensei, Mashiro & yourself as evidences, while i tend to look & talk about normal, average ppl who, most likely, never drew a name, let alone a "final draft" page ( after all, they are the ones, who will benefit the most of this course, right?) all i'm trying to say is that i'm really sick & tired of seeing stuff like this

those pictures are what you will most likely, 99% of the time, will see as a result of copying.. why? 'cause like i said before, we are not talking about Oda sensei, Mashiro or you & me.. we are talking about "rookies" here that will use the copy method the way i think they will: to simply open up a volume & bluntly copy it. the reason i say it might work on some ppl without the others is 'cause few only will use it as a practice, the rest will keep using it on their actual final products. just like the above. I'm not bashing on the technique itself, nor on you personally ( if that's what you felt, then i'm sorry) i'm just saying it's not guaranteed
