Oh, and not to be cruel.... If you are doing art only to satisfy yourself, why are you posting it online? By posting in a public gallery you enter into an unspoken contract with the viewer; that there is something THEY can get out of YOUR art. Which engenders in you a subtle but powerful obligation to learn a little basic craft. If you desire to communicate, and by making photo-realistic pictures of human subjects have at least pretended to adopt a certain tradition, perhaps you should make a little effort to learn the language of that tradition (perspective, anatomy, light and shadow)...instead of pouting that "they don't understand me because I'm too deep." /RANT
