This tutorial was suggested by by ~sweetychan and the following deviants:
`alexds1 says, "It goes beyond teaching how to draw and delves into the question of why we draw."
=NMNA says, "One of the most illuminating tutorials I've found on dA. What visual artist hasn't stressed over their style?"
*Sephiramy says, "Whimsically yet contemplatively written guide about the importance of studying from life and understanding the symbol sets used in our craft. It will make people take a closer look at their work and the world around them. The overall message is a great eye-opener."
*nayruasukei says, "Incredibly helpful for artists stuck in a limbo state, trying to improve. It brings science and philosophy into art, and it's wonderfully made."
*arsieiuni says, "One of the most well-made, intuitive and thorough tutorials I have ever seen."
*Somebodylost says, "It's helpful for artists to understand what 'artistic style' means. It gives insight, especially to those who learned to draw from cartoons, etc."

After reading, I noticed exactly what you described in my drawings (I have indeed started out by copying Sailor Moon, but quickly tried to move on to my own style - which I never really found) and could try to at least prevent a bit of damage. I started paying more attention to real life anatomy (especially position wise) and I'll try and this guide actually also helps me to understand common mistakes I make even when trying to draw from real life. Thank you!
(Also, I do have a friend who draws in Sailor Moon-esque styles, and insists that it is realism.
