Can you be taught to draw?

[koikurasu]

Do you think anyone can be taught to draw? or do you have to have a knack for it? Ive been trying my hardest for the longest time, and i can never get any better. What are youre thoughts on this?

You can be taught, but you will never have "natural talent" ,

but yes, I am learning to draw, yet i am not talented

I think you can be taught, its just finding the right way to learn.

You can learn drawing, but you need lots of practice. A pantograph will help you.

i have some talent...but i have to hone them...im learning how to draw better at my college ..and my professor is so patient , but yes you may be taught , but keep practicing thats how i did it and i know you will get the swing of it..

That's a pantograph. A great tool that helps an artist to draw a picture.

To use it, you just need to tape it on a table, put a picture under the "pointer" area , put a blank sheet of paper a few inches away from the picture and all you have to do is trace the picture. It's really a big help for practicing.

There's so much that you can learn about art. Techniques, styles, etc. If you just practice and focus on getting basics and slowly advancing, you'll be awesome.

Yes, you can be taught to draw. I don't even know why this would be called into question. It's pretty much a given. Yes, there are some people who have more of a natural talent for drawing than others... but they too still have to learn techniques and styles before they're good.

I've always liked drawing but I definitely had, and still do have a lot to learn.
