Because art is a visual skill. You need to understand what something looks like, not WHY it looks that way. To understand what something looks like, you only need to look at it. Having someone describe what and why something looks the way it does is totally unnecessary. Thats why the best art schools are the ones who have you spend most of your time drawing, such as chink art schools.

idk, but apparently "weeb" wasn't a good enough word to describe animefags so this attention whore had to make up his own word and try to force it to catch on in every thread.

pic related DUDE you can clearly see each pencil stroke is clearly thought out it flows with the firm and makes you fill in the gaps (see the linework in hair)

>Also your argument of comparing doctors and artists it's just stupid, you really can't apply it
Okay, why not? because art is speshul? The same can be applied to other forms of art. Music for example, screaming into a microphone until your vocal cords burst with the intent of expressing death and violence isn't going top the charts as the worlds next best heavy metal album. Having a good idea doesn't mean shit if you don't have the ability to actually execute it.

>For you peak art is photo realism stuff completely grounded in reality?
No, artistic expression IS important. Painting a 1:1 copy of Morgan Freeman is not good art, it's empty, boring, soulless garbage. You're doing the same job as a camera but 100000x less efficiently. "Art" without artistic expression is just as bad as artistic expression without any sort of art skills.

There is no skill involved in the piece of shit painting in the OP.
>B-but you c-c-can see each brush stroke wa-
Okay, fine. He didn't mindlessly fling paint onto the canvas. He made choices, that doesn't mean he's skilled, it doesn't mean its good. The image could be considered visually interesting. But thats not an achievement or something thats impressive to me. Art that impresses me or that I consider GOOD ART is art that combines artistic expression WITH the skill to actually express it.

why is so obvious to spot when a non asian person tries to draw anime? even asian who grew in the west can draw anime that has an japanese feel to it, is it hardwired into them? Can non asian people really not draw anime no matter how hard they try?
