Is it? I bet if you keep breaking down skills into subskills, it will resolve to something mechanical in the end.
One of the foundation of drawing is to simplify objects into shapes and then into lines and then how to move your arm when drawing.
No matter how simple it sounds, it is hard for beginners.
No matter how much you break down playing soccer, it’s the kind of activity that 99.9% of the practitioners will never, ever, in any hypothetical scenario, be able to compete professionally on.
Contrast that to coding. It might’ve been a difficult task when it was about memorizing assembly books. Today anyone can pick it up and become proficient quite fast, faster every day
It’s not the mechanical reproducibility alone, it’s the ease of learning & replication that accrues value
