Answer 1

Drawing requires you to mentally view an object from a certain perspective, mentally project this image onto the media’s surface, then plan and execute motor skills to produce lines and marks that correspond to each portion of the projected image in proportion to its desired perspective. These additional cognitive tasks require practice.

Some people seem more adept at drawing than others. But as Bob Ross once said, “Talent is just a pursued interest.” If drawing interests you, this interest will sustain your motivation practice drawing, and you will get better at it.
