Oh okay, so suddenly all of those art tutorials out there are void because
Art tutorials are kind of the same as what Limp did. While I, with the proper technical skills and a little practice, could copy a famous painting, that does not make me a good painter. I'd probably pick stuff up along the way that might improve me as a painter, but I do not become a good painter by copying someone else's style and work.
So, I guess the building point isn't as strong. While I think that building tutorials are good, it shouldn't have been conducted as it was. It should have been just tips for helping you develop your own style, how to branch out, and how to mentally collect your ideas. Brick placement is just part of the fight.
