Okay, how to start this without it sounding like a rant or whine? hmm... well, basically, ive noticed recently that some people have been discouraging new artists, in fact some of them have been downright rude. Ironically, almost all the aforementioned people do not draw themselves.
Before you proceed in your self justified crusade against all art that fails to make your genitals tingle, may I remind you that everyone was once as bad as these guys. In fact some were worse. and to those of you who can draw, in a few years you'll be old, and set in your ways, and wont bother learning modern methods, and the next generation will be laughing at your art and saying things like "look at him! its a jpg! he doesnt even use holojection!" and who will be stepping up and saying "hey, lay off! this guys work is classical! Why, all the advice he gave me, back in the old days when we had to use our hands to draw...." Well, the very guys youre putting down now wont be, thats for sure.
The furture of art depends on artists passing on advice. Without experice passing down the line, we may as well be paining on cave walls with crushed berries.

the holojection is incompatible with my hardware. I'm stuck with png.

Thats because its the primary format for holonet, which will replace the internet in about 2019. its gonna be hard getting drivers for tech that wont be invented for at least 10 years. plus, the v1.0 system has poor definition, is fuzzy around the edges and sometimes you slip through the holo-furniture. Bad collision detection too.
