Imagine if they taught reading and writing that way. D: It would be like if they showed someone writing a great novel, then said you can't learn to read and write because you can't write stories yet.

Gotta learn those fundamentals. What's funny is that no one tells you there are fundamentals to art. They just say, "this guy is good 'cause he's talented, you have no chance 'cause you had to show you had talent when you were five."
