Even You Can Learn To Draw

Most people think that the ability to draw a picture is a gift that an artist is born with. That may be true for a lucky few individuals but that certainly wasn’t the case for me. We all draw pictures as children and when we are kids, we don’t care if they look good or bad we just enjoy drawing.

For me, I enjoyed it so much that I kept doing it and put in lots of time practicing. I wanted to learn how to draw animals and as I got older I wanted my drawings to look better so I devoured every book I could get my hands on and I drew something almost every day. Over the years I learned some helpful techniques and I came up with many of my own techniques through a very long trial and error process. As I improved I also wanted to learn how to draw portraits which can be challeging but it is a skill that can be learned.

You can learn to draw, I was not blessed with the gift of being a “natural artist”. I simply loved drawing and that love for drawing made me put in the time it takes to learn the skill. Sometimes people will say to me “you are a talented artist”. Of course when someone says this I say thank you but I don’t think of myself as a talented artist I think of myself as a skilled artist. To me the difference is that the word talented makes me think of having a natural ability. I think of myself as skilled because I did not have any natural ability, I put in the time and developed the skill.

Anyone can learn to draw, all you need is the desire to learn and the proper instruction. It took me many years to reach my current skill level but in my DVDs I reveal the tips and techniques that took me so long to learn, shaving years off of the learning curve for you.
