Is it true when a person says that they can't draw?
The fact is that people draw every day... they just don't know they are drawing.
Drawing is like writing. The function of each is to communicate ideas and information. Both drawing and writing is nothing more than the process of making marks onto a surface like paper.
"You can draw if you can write"
Writing a message uses the same skills as drawing.
When you write you don't think about what it is you are doing...
* You are forming lines
* You are drawing circles
* You are creating curves
Writing comes naturally to you. Because you were taught to write at school the skills of writing become instinctive.
When you are drawing you use the same skills as when you are writing...
* You can use a series of lines to draw a house
* You use a combination of curves to draw a face
If you take time and are willing to put in the effort, you can learn to draw... there is nothing to stop you improving your drawing skills.
Here's a challenge... Take a pen or pencil and draw a cat or a dog. If you aren't used to drawing the result will disappoint you. Your drawing might not look anything like a cat or a dog.
This is no great surprise to you. You already know that you can't draw.
But, you may be surprised to learn that a large number of artists would find it difficult to get a true likeness.
The biggest challenge when you learn to draw is to sharpen your powers of observation.
Take a closer look at a cat and dog. Look at the head...
* See the shape of the head
* See how the ears are placed on top
* See the eyes
* Look at the nose
In seconds you discover a better understanding. The picture in your mind will be strong and crystal clear...
"Now, you will see a sudden improvement when you draw the next dog or cat picture"
