Question: Do you have to be a "natural" to be good at drawing!?
I hear a lot of people ask this, so my question is, what do you think of this!?

I really hate this saying because it makes me feel like I can only be good at something if I am a natural, like I can't learn how to do something if I try!.

How do you feel about this!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

you don't have to be naturally good at anything!.
of course anybody can learn to do something that they really want to do!.
just because they weren't naturally good at it doesn't mean that they couldn't' learn to do if if they real want to learn!.

i always go by the saying, "you can do anything you put your mind to"
that's what you should stick to!.

No, but if you feel you are a natural you are likely to work harder at it, and drawing -- believe me -- is very very hard work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

some stuff you have to just grow up around so i think if when your little you can learn anything but once you get to about high school you cant!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When I started art school, they told me it was a teachable skill!.

They were right!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
