Oh yeah, I've definitely seen a lot of bad art from Japanese artists as well. But as you say, growing up with it lets them do better copies. they tend to include composition and perspective, at least, and not just the standard "manga" face" (at least when it comes to the professionals).

Then there are professional western artists that borrow elements from the manga styles, but still keep within the western tradititions otherwise, and I see nothing wrong with that. Inspiration across styles is a good thing, I think. It's can be very well done, like in Avatar: The Last Airbender, for example.

It is really hard to create your own style if you don't know the rules though.

Yeah, learning to draw is hard, and includes hard work. And so does writing, which people don't tend to realise either.
