A lot of people will see picrel and judge it technically impressive even if they don't understand how exactly. Lots of non-artists have good taste but only lack the technical understanding, and I think their opinion is very valuable. You can't disregard them if you want to make a living through art.
... But it does piss me off when the 1:1 grid copy faggots post some pic of a celebrity and get thousands of OMG UR SO TALENTED :O
