That's basically the way all my Fanart is done: there's some picture that I find very appealing and I'll just try to copy it, mostly by using pen and ink or pencils.
I've never been happy with creating things totally on my own because most of it either doesnt look good or it looks too much like the stuff I've aped.
So I've decided to stick with copying pictures to improve my technique at least.
Yet I've seen some artists who have a lot of their own stuff, so my question would be: how did you get there ? Did you start by doing original art, or was it more fanart? Or was it a whole different story? Tell me your opinions.
Oh yeah, comments are welcome and I'm not a native english speaker so please be gentle with me if there's any broken english.
