Any skill training can be viewed as torture. That definition is all set by the teacher. (You seem to have met terrible ones) Hey, graphic arts are not the only ones. Music, martial arts, woodworking. Every skill is built by a repetition of a movement towards a concious perfection. There is no mastery without it. How about writing coherently? Could one become a genious at it without practicing?
