Can it be true when someone says that they can't draw?
The truth is that people draw every day without realizing.
The function of drawing is to make marks onto paper or another surface. These marks will show ideas and information. Communication with these marks is usually done with writing or pictures.
"If you can write... you can draw"
Drawing pictures uses the same skills as writing a message.
You don't think about what you are doing when you write...
* You are forming lines
* You are drawing circles
* You are creating curves
Writing becomes an instinctive act because you were taught from an early age. Because you have been writing for so long it becomes natural.
The same skills are used for drawing that you use when you write...
* 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.
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.
Because you already think that you can't draw there is no surprise.
However, it could surprise you to learn that many artists would struggle to get an exact likeness.
When you learn to draw, the real challenge is to improve your observation skills.
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
Soon you will have a strong and clear picture in your mind...
"Now, go and try to draw your cat or dog again and see the sudden improvement in your drawing"
