Neato. Facial features are still something I struggle with a lot - I think it's a combination of proportion and the subtle weirdness of organic shapes. I'm getting a lot better at figures (mannequinization is a fantastic tool), but faces remain a problem.

And I think what you're talking about there at the end is the whole point. A photocopier or an actual camera can reproduce things more accurately than we ever could, but that's not the point of art.

One of my professors told a story about an engine that was a secret or something. I don't remember the story exactly.

But the crew didn't want people drawing it because it implied intelligence. They allowed photography though
