So true. I'm trying to move closer and closer to realisim in my art, 'cause I'd like to be able to and all, but I have this feeling that once I've reached that point, I'll bounce back from it into a style of my own.

I personally want to be able to draw the photo-like image, but most of the purpose for that is that I think learning how will somehow show me how I want to manipulate that realism into a unique style.
Does that make sense?
