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. "If you can write... you can draw" Drawing pictures uses the same skills as writing a message. 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 It is easy for you to write. Writing comes naturally to you. You were taught to write from an early age. The skills come easily to you. When you draw exactly the same skills are being used... * You can use a series of lines to draw a house * You use a combination of curves to draw a face There is nothing to stop you learning to draw. You can learn to draw if you take time and effort to improve your drawing skills. Take a challenge... Pick up a pen or pencil and draw a cat or a dog. Don't worry if the result is disappointing. The resulting drawing could look like quite different from a cat or dog. Because you already think that you can't draw there is no surprise. The surprise might be to learn that many artists would also fail to get an exact likeness. The biggest challenge when you learn to draw is to sharpen your powers of observation. By looking more carefully at the dog and cat you see more. Look closely 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...
