toerning wrote an interesting post about DA's Insular Taste Phenomenon and the development of an artist's taste along with their artistic abilities.

The thing is, I have yet to see a "Draw This Again!" meme that makes any notable changes to composition, content, or impact of the work. Is a person's ability to draw more convincing clothing folds or a more roguish grin evidence of what they have accomplished in their last two+ years of artistic development? This is a matter of taste, and we are limiting ourselves.
