Draw anyway (when you think you can’t and even if you could you haven’t got any time and everyone said your last picture was fab, until you told them what it was meant to be, and, look, you never said you could draw, anyway, right?)
I believe everyone can draw.
I’ve met many people who tell me quite firmly that I’m wrong, that they can’t draw and they never have been able to.
But I truly believe that there are a few tricks and techniques that everyone can learn. You don’t have to have a certain talent or disposition to use them. You just have to be shown them.
Other people feel that they just don’t have the time. Maybe they’re right: they don’t have the time to sit at a desk and produce a flawless picture. I’m one of those people; with a full time job and a toddler to look after, there are very few minutes in a day that I can call my own.
But that’s not what drawanyway is about. It’s about doodles, sketches, work you might never show anyone else. It’s about seeing the value in pictures that have been dashed off, and about getting confident in art so that it becomes a pleasure and not something daunting.
That’s why I started this blog. It’s for everyone, those who believe they can draw, and those who believe they can’t, but want to. Those who have no time to draw. Those who have plenty of time but no idea where to start.
Ach, basically, it’s all about making time for art, and enjoying art. And that’s it.
