Painting is both a skill and an art form, meaning that you can practice to become better. However, the ambition of becoming perfect is a difficult task as in seriously it is hard. If you try to make your art works detailed once you make a mistake you will not like it.
Let me explain, perfection is in the eye of the viewer, what you percieve as perfect might not meet the criteria of another. This leads to an interesting concept... If perfection in an artform is the mimickry of reality, then surely, hyper realism is the most perfect artform there is? But as drawing is the interpretation of reality, then drawing could never be 'realistic' enough to be perfect! Think about it, any interpretation of anything, will never be as real as the original. But I digress....In order to become more profficient at drawing, you need to practice. Not only will continuous practice 'improve you eye', your ability to judge size and relationships, but it will also help you to gauge tonal variations and subtle nuances, essential to more 'perfect' type drawings.I treat all of my paintings as ‘portraits’. It began when my granddad lent me a pair of his old brogues years ago and said I should paint them. By working in this way, you are painting something that’s been worn by someone so, if you use your imagination, that will in some way have taken on the personality of the wearer it already suggests a likeness. Last before I end this I would like you guys to read this quote " Art is not what you see but what you make others see" - Degas
