Wait guys, maybe we all misunderstand each other lol:)
If it was 90% mental and 10% physical, that would mean that if we have two guys (same guys, same conditions and all that experimental stuff) and we get one to just learn, acknowledge and visualize perspective, anatomy, colors, light, values etc. without picking up a pencil or brush and the other to do that + constant practice of actual drawing/painting, after, let's say, ten years, the second one would be 10% better in DOING art?:) And not like zillion times better?:)
I mean, this is the neverending discussion (like two people discussing about god's existence), but that ratio just seems really, really odd to me. I mean, we all have sketchbook threads and they're not filled with photos or excerpts from anatomy books we stare at and gain art skills:)
Maybe I'm missing something, maybe we see "physical" and "mental" dfferently... I can't explain this much discrepancy otherwise...
Of course you'll do a bad drawing if you break focus or if your mind is somewhere else, but I'm talking about gaining actual drawing skills. I mean, if we look it that way, we may as well say that everything is 99% mind, because we govern things with our minds, we don't mindlessly go to the store to buy milk either:)
I voted 50-50.
