Why do some artists hate photo realistic drawings?
Some people dislike it as it is thought to lack creative spirit. You are merely copying from one medium to another. I personally believe it is a difficult skill to master, but I would have to agree with a lot of the critics. If you copy a photo so realistically, do you not just end up with a copy of the photo?
Why do my drawings always look bad?
