Drawing is a craft that anyone can master with patience and regular practice.

What we call "talent" is usually early exposure and consistent practice.

• Motor control: Practising lines, curves and shapes trains your hand to follow your eye.
• Visual perception: Artists learn to see edges, proportions and shadows that others overlook.
• Muscle memory: Your hand remembers what your mind has practised.

Anyone who commits to regular sketching will improve, regardless of starting point.
