My feeling is that it's not wrong.


I wonder why do you feel that copying a style is for 13 year olds? For one, people's skill level doesn't depend on their age. Some grown ups aka adults with srs bsn can't draw at all but do it anyway. and enjoy it. Then take Da Vince. Copying him is a difficult task. Many artists copy great painters so that they can learn and grow. In fact great artists copied their teachers' style, improving it here and there maybe. So I really wonder what is your objective here. Is it an automatic reaction copying=bad? Imo, it's the greatest complement someone can pay to another, repeating after them I mean.

UPD: didn't see the bit about selling. Not sure that copying means better sails.

I feel like they're equating copying the style with tracing. Sure, tracing is probably something that you do more when you're first developing your skills (so, a younger age), but please go and tell professional animators working off of models, PAID TO APE THE OFFICIAL STYLE, that they're just so immature and need to develop their own style.

It's like telling fanfic writers they need to stop playing with someone else's characters and go make their own.

or that their characters are too In Character and not OOC enough.

Sadly, fanfic writers do get that. All the time.

("OMG why are you writing fanfic? You should be working on something original! Something you can sell! You're wasting your time with this fan trash." Yup, been there.)

Then the original work languishes. Forever. (Unless it is literally fanfic with the serial numbers filed off.)
