>>4068474Absolutely anyone without a disability can learn to do this, and much more quickly than any other type of art. Yeah you can improve on how you render skin, hair, whatever, but at the end of the day you're just copying a bunch of small squares, with enough time and knowledge of basic techniques it's not that hard.
It's definitely harder than figuring out what makes a good composition, or how to choose the right colors to paint something from life, or how to paint something believably *without" replicating it exactly, but instead by simplifying the right shape, distributing your values, details, and colors appropriately, and figuring out what to enhance or subdue to convey the feeling you're going for.
There's no imagination or artistic vision involved in most photorealistic work. Though I will say that painted and/or "imagined" photorealism can be pretty impressive, but at that point you have to become skilled in many other aspects of art
