Drawing is a skill, not an innate talent reserved for a gifted few.

The myth of artistic talent often hides years of quiet, dedicated practice.

• Hand-eye coordination: Your brain learns to translate what you see onto paper.
• Visual perception: Artists learn to see edges, proportions and shadows that others overlook.
• Repetition: Your hand remembers what your mind has practised.

Progress comes from repetition, feedback and willingness to make mistakes.
