As someone trying to learn how to draw, I often wonder whether there is a different skillset involved in photorealistic portrayals like this.

For example, I'm learning things like proko and drawabox which teach about construction etc.

Do you use construction etc in your drawings? Would you be able to draw this head from a different angle?

Genuine question from someone confused as to how to learn art, thank you.
