people be like “don’t start with anime style, learn the rules before you break them” like that’s how everyone who ever got good at drawing did it.  I mean, don’t get me wrong, you can start off studying anatomy and technique and stuff, but you can also get to that stuff later after a few years of copying sailor moon or whatever.

as kids we all start off messing around and not giving a shit about rules, and we do the work later when we realize it’s the next step to improving.  adults get to do that too.  allow people to evolve naturally??  they’re having fun??  jeez.

Some of the best artists I know started out by drawing anime style pictures and evolved from there. Personally, whatever inspires you the most to start drawing you should just go for it. It will at least keep you engaged and interested in drawing and getting better.
