this kind of explains a concept that I have had over the years regarding the ability to draw.

many people feel that they can't draw or weren't born with the "talent".

I have long maintained that artistic ability is not a inherent talent but one that is encouraged from an early age and that anyone can draw.

it's just learning to see things in a different way and training your hand to follow.

I've been drawing since I was 3 but I believe because it was encouraged.

All kids draw and I think in some families or learning situations it's openly fostered while others might deem it a waste of time or a "hobby" a best.

those who have a positive experience, go on to make art a huge part of their life, but more over, they exhibit a different view on the world because they perceive things differently due to that encouragement.

I honestly believe anyone can learn to draw.
