How many times do you say, "I can’t draw anything well"?
If you think this is true, answer 2 questions... "Do you want to draw?" and "Would you like to learn to draw?"
If the answer is "Yes" to each of the questions, would you be surprised if I told you... "You can easily learn how to draw"
And, do you know... "If you really want to, you can learn to draw "
Here are some more excuses you will hear...
1. "I can't even draw as well as a child"...
2. "3-year old children can draw better than me"...
3. "A monkey can draw better than I can"
Truth is... It doesn't matter how bad your drawing is. Really, it is nothing new. And, what's more, you will hear worse... much worse.
If you said that you you are only able to draw matchstick men... "That's terrific!"
Read on and you will learn how to get more from your drawing efforts...
"So what if you can only draw stick-like figures!"
Why should you care when an artist like L S Lowry became world famous, painting pictures of his local town. This was an Englishman who could easily draw realistic lifelike portraits and figure studies that would blow your mind.
For all that, when he painted his well known scenes (pictures of his home town in Lancashire)... he painted 'Matchstick Men'. The characters he saw daily became cartoon like characters.
"So, where’s your problem?"
You have just said that you can draw a matchstick man. The fact is that, if you can draw matchstick men you can easily draw... A Matchstick Woman, or a Matchstick Boy, a Matchstick Girl, or a matchstick Cat, a matchstick Dog and a Matchstick Horse.
Please have no doubt... "You are able to draw"
You will be able to easily create your own Art world full of Matchstick figures. When you do so you will gain the confidence that L S Lowry had. You will soon be able to see the world about you in a very different way...
"You will create drawings that show the life and people in your own unique way... You will be able to create Art that no other artist will be able to compete with"
