thats true sometimes, but even with crappy tools u can make great works....
like if u can shade and cg real well, but ur drawing is crap, then ull never go anywhere unless u cg other people's work. ull end up relying on other people..... eh.... i hope i make sense.
just improving the tools only slightly improves the result but u dont learn anything so its not any better than the quality of the tools.... errr...
i cant think, im at school right now. ill come bak and edit my post later
