Can you go draw a hyper realistic depiction of the world? If you’re anything like me, then no you probably can’t. You gotta learn the techniques and practice first right? All these techniques you can just find online nowadays were discovered by someone and perfected by others. Ancient peoples may not have had all the tricks and tools that we modern humans take for granted.
