Can someone please explain to me the concept behind drawing an exact photorealistic copy of a photograph? I can see that it takes an incredible amount of time and talent and practice, but I’ve never understood why this was a popular obsession. If there was some sort of transformation or reinterpretation happening, I would totally understand. Just making a copy seems only like a way to show off technique without an expression of a whit of creativity, but maybe I’m missing something here.
