Secret
Number 2:
There's no big secret - anybody can learn to draw
First, you already have the skills. You have the manual dexterity
- you can write, right? That's all the more manual skills you need to begin
with; the other skill is physiologic. Within your very own brain
you have at your disposal a much more mysterious and untapped universe of
amazing skills. They're operating literally at a level beyond description.
Specifically I'm talking about the brain's right hemisphere
and it's awesome powers: underused and under appreciated - but that's about
to change.
Second, drawing can be broken down into five learnable skills
- again, none of which have anything to do with making marks on paper and
all of which have to do with how you use your brain: your perceptive skills;
all from learning to see.
Third, you already have a history as an artist. Yes, you were brimming
with creativity and you were most likely drawing up a storm until you had
one enigmatic, life changing series of events in your life that I'll show
you in a second;
Fourth, by building on and applying all the same skills we very
briefly referred to above, drawing the head and face can be broken down into
smaller, manageable, easily learned and drawable parts;
Fifth, We've already touched on this one and that's your desire.
