Start Copying.

I saw the image below on Pinterest one day when I was scrolling through and it caught my eye so thought I would share it. It kind of goes along with a post that I wrote a while ago so I don’t want to reiterate everything I said there but it got me thinking about copying again and I think this image pretty much says it all. 

Copying is kind of looked at as a bad thing and it seems almost backwards to tell someone to copy another person but it is also a huge part of learning. You learn by studying and emulating someone else’s work. So copy as long as you need to learn how everything works together and then put your own twist on it because, as the other post says, no one else is you. YOU are what makes your work unique.
