Imperfections can be beautiful. Old Masters knew that very well. Go to England, visit City of Wells, enjoy the Cathedral. Yuri Norstein, a famous animated cartoons maker, asked his primary artist to use her weak hand for certain scenes and frames - he asked for an imperfect line there ('Hedgehog in the Fog' on youtube). Art Nouveau was very much influenced by Japanese art of the day, and Japanese appreciate a good imperfection here and there. Americans cannot stand imperfection, that's why the ratio of churches to orthodontists' offices is close to 1 (at least, in California)
