>>6013036>>6005066The problem with statements like this is that it both creates a wider category called realism (which includes renaissance, baroque, rococo all the little movements of the 18th and 19th century, 20th century commercial illustrations, Loomis, academic art, 1:1 photocopies and modern insta model copies) while at the same time targeting the most soulless and unimaginative copies as realism itself and the reason why one should over-correct towards anime or abstract modern art.
You don't need to do "realism" to the degrees of accuracy plonkers or the version of fundy grinders before you "find your voice" or "move away from realism." This is a relatively new training tactic. In the first place because the styles/versions/degree of "realism" that they aim for in this kind of training is most often some of the new ones.
