The thing I have discovered about learning to draw is this....everything you ever needed to know about drawing you already knew and were already doing when you were a little kid. For a lot of us, when we can't instinctively translate what we were doing right (and we were) to the next step of representation we absorb the message that we 'can't draw' or 'have no talent' and should give up our scribbles and stick figures. Return to childhood and embrace your stick figures. You had the most important steps of learning to draw mastered when you were four years old. No, really, you did. What you do with it is what makes art, not the how. I have no clue if I have that talent yet, the what not the how. I suppose I'll find out. But the how will never stop me from trying again, 'cause every child you know is already halfway there and so are you. Really. REALLY. Lemme break this down

Everything I needed to know to learn how to draw I learned in kindergarten )
