I think this one is really important for every beginner to watch

You need to buy this one, but it literally opens your head and fills it with knowledge.

Wait a second. He's saying not to copy from other people's style, yet in this video that he made before that one, he says that one of his major mistakes when learning art was NOT copying other people's art (at 16 mins 45 seconds).

copying art=/=trying to immitate a style.

"Copying" art is studying it, it gives you visual library just like "copying" photos, he means that, when looking for a personal style, trying to immitate someone else is more or less pointless because when you draw, you put that visual library(+knowledge) into practice and an individual style naturally develops.

Likewise, he means that, if you want to immitate a certain style you shouldn't try to copy it, just learn your fundamentals and analyze the pointers of what make the style.

Ultimately that's the message of the video, "don't try to learn how to draw anime/comic/cartoon etc., learn to draw"
