Cool, anon. But would you say they would be better off not drawing at all, if it's something they enjoy doing - and maybe others enjoy seeing! - if they haven't nailed anatomy (yet)? Say they didn't have the opportunity to go to an art class. Would you?
Because this is basically what this secret sounds like. And I've seen (as someone who is more into fanart than fanfic anyway) a lot of very mediocre anime artists who don't know shit thing about anatomy, nor can really shadow an object, but know a lot about anime art from, well, watching a lot of it and can mix and match colors like nobody else, and their vibrant palettes alone actually draw in a lot of fans and comissioners and all that. Because this is what art is actually about: as much as some elitists would like to beg otherwise, there is the "right, formal" way to do something, but there is also the occasional "this is totally wrong from a formal perspective but it blew" way. And the purpose of FANworks is exactly that: not be professional or formalistic, but please fans or author; the purpose is for it to be a homage. After all, it's often not like they're earning any profit for it, so it should allow the artist to experiment however they want in my opinion.
