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 are capable of writing… you are equally capable of drawing”

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

Writing comes naturally to you. Because you were taught to write at school the skills of writing become instinctive.

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

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.

Take a pen or pencil and challenge yourself to draw a cat or a dog. Don’t be too concerned if the result isn’t too good. Your drawing could appear very different from what you would expect.

This isn’t going to shock you because 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.

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

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

“Now, go and try to draw your cat or dog again and see the sudden improvement in your drawing”
