So is this it? All of drawing is either tracing or brute force?

Don't give me this "break it down into shapes" bullshit, that only works if you want to draw the same exact fucking picture over and over. I learned how to draw a girl doing a retarded pose that will never happen ever again, and it took an hour of brain-splitting intense focus. People do this every day? This is like memorizing every single times table.
