I don't draw, paint, and pixel to show to people, I do it for me, and me alone. Occasionally I share my art with my good friends, but most of the time only because it comes up in a "Whatcha doing?" or "Whatcha been up to lately?" conversation.

I draw for personal pleasure as well. However, I strive to improve myself. I'm not big on tutorials because I prefer to learn myself, but I admit I have looked at one or two when it comes to pixel art. Mainly for basics such as AA and Light Source stuff. Which, to say the least, are basic needs when it comes to pixel art if you want to make some what quality images.

Okay then. I didn't ask him to change his style, nor did I give a specific style he should "clone." When it comes to tutorials like the one I provided, it's just basic "to the core" information most artists need to know. Everyone has their own style, yes, but using the word "Style" as an excuse for quality is totally different. When I first started out at Pixel Art, I sucked. I was going slow, and had horrible line art. Eventually I progress, and when it all comes down to it I'm trying to prefect my coloring and contrast issues. It's fine to have your own style, but why not have style with quality? (Eg. Pixel art with AA.)

No. This is a Graphics Forum, not an Art Praise forum. I'll give my critisism because this section of the forum is my most visited part.
If you read my first post, I was trying to be helpful and give feedback. It wasn't until I recieved ignorant replies did I decide to be more blunt.
