Anyone Can Learn to Figure Draw
So, what is it that makes an artist an artist? Are artists just born with talent? Do they see things differently than the rest of the world? Do their eyes translate things differently from others? And the most important question, can anyone learn to draw and figure draw?
So why
is this important to artists? Especially
artists who are drawing the figure? Well, to answer that let’s look back to
elementary school. When in grade school,
how did you draw a person? Using
circles, I dare say! Well, let’s
investigate this further.
Drawing to most people seems to be a mystery. They can’t seem to figure out how artists do what they do. What is it that allows some to draw a figure with seemingly little effort, while others can sit for hours and barely have a stick figure done?
Does it all boil down to talent and can anyone acquire it? Well, let’s break down the word talent a little more to understand what it is we are talking about. Talent for art can be several of these components: patience, discipline, recall, ability to see things differently and sensitivity.
Some people are born with all of these in place and multitudes of them. But even these people need proper direction to be able to master the craft. These traits are just artistic potential.
