Can it be true when someone says that they can't draw?

In reality, most people draw each and every day.

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.

"You can draw if you can write"

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

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 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.

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.

However, it could surprise you to learn that many artists would struggle to get an exact likeness.

The biggest challenge when you learn to draw is to sharpen your powers of observation.

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

In seconds you discover a better understanding. The picture in your mind will be strong and crystal clear...

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