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”

The same skills are used in writing and 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 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

This means that you can learn to draw. The only thing stopping you is that it will take your time and effort to develop 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.

The surprise might be to learn that many artists would also fail to get an exact likeness.

The real challenge when you draw is to sharpen your observation skills.

As you look more closely at the cat and dog you will see more. Take a close 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

Very soon you will see a clearer picture in your mind…

“Now, you will see a sudden improvement when you draw the next dog or cat picture”
