1. A form of art in which objects (usually people) are depicted as they would in everyday life with little or no exaggeration. 2.

A lot of artists often deny this, and see the absence of knowledge for realism as inexcuseable. They will also condemn you for it and note you as ignorant, immature, stupid, and/or an "anime kid".
