Does /ic/ consider the line art on the left to be symbol drawing?

Anything that isn't going for and achieving absolute realism uses symbols in some capacity, especially stylized work.
That said, some symbols are three-dimensional and more refined than others. What this board calls "symbol drawing" is those awful beginner symbols that come from not knowing how to observe, not something like this necessarily.

everything is symbol drawing, /ic/ has skewed the word beyond any meaning.
