Drawing & Illustration

I'm a portrait artist, and someone I know ( I hesitate to call him a friend at this time) suggested portraiture was not as difficult or valuable as art that is created completely from the imagination. When I think of artists such as Rembrandt and Leonardo Da Vinci this notion seems quite ridiculous. I would like to reference a very respectable source to retort his statement. If someone knows of a particular quote or passage I could send him I would be very happy. Thanks.

Personally, I think I'm a pretty good drawing. If I were to rate my artistic ability I would give myself a high 6 or 7 on a scale of 1-10. (all personal opinion of course).

If I have an image of something, I can draw it pretty accuretely. However, they don't look too realistic when their portraits of people.

How do I improve or get started on shading when I draw images of things like faces?

-thanks.
