On originality: "It’s okay to draw the familiar character types as you begin the learning process.  Even copying characters you’ve grown up with is okay because it's a good learning tool.  Eventually, you will grow tired of this.  It will become boring to you and that’s the time to chart your own course of creativity.  It means your original ideas are ready to come out; your own unique opinion about what you see around you is ready to be born.  That’s really what we've all been waiting to see.  Draw that!  Be patient with yourself.  A flower opens in its own time."
- Don Bluth
