DRAW

=No Artistic Talent? Don’t Worry. Anyone Can Learn to Draw.= by Dan - **Empty Easel**

**“Could you draw us something?”** Millions of adults around the world would break into a cold sweat if asked to draw a picture in front of a group of people. They’d deny any artistic talent, make excuses, and do whatever it took to avoid being on the spot with a pencil in their hand. But ask a couple of five-year-olds to do the same thing, and within seconds they‘ll be drawing, explaining, and creating artistic masterpieces for all to see. So what happens between the age of 5 and 15 that makes us terrified to draw? What makes YOU afraid? For many people it’s when they first realize that their drawings look nothing like reality. They can SEE the obvious mistakes, but have no idea how to fix them; feeling that if they can’t draw something perfectly, then they shouldn’t draw it at all.

Most people think artists have some kind of gift, and I suppose that a some artists//are// born with a talent for art. But, if you looked at the childhood drawings of 100 professional artists, I’d bet you’d find that 99 of them made the same type of scribbles and stick figures that you did as a kid. The difference is that they never quit making scribbles, and at some point they LEARNED to draw, whether from books, videos, teachers, or just on their own with lots of practice.

Wish you could draw? Here’s the good news: **anyone can learn.** The bad news is, drawing’s hard.
