Can it be true when someone says that they can’t draw?
In reality, most people draw each and every day.
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”
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
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.

“A master painter’s only worry is translating your vision onto canvas, panel or paper”
Does this mean that a beginner should only spend time worrying about their lack of skill?
