Christine, your post motivated me. My brother was saying I am not a good drawer as he. And we are grown grown people. LOL I have learned to like my style. Your posts and classes have helped ,me develop my style.
I remember drawing as a kid. Drawing on my book covers in school(if you remember those😁). Got lost somewhere in the middle but I picked it back up in the last 10yrs or so. It's what I want to do now(and all the creativity that comes with it)! There are things that I struggle with & get frustrated with. But I always look at it as a matter of practice or learning. I LOVE perspective drawing and there some aspects that I am still excited to learn & get better. Some drawing I'll get through & not think much about then pull them out much later & think "that's not bad after all!". I admire other artists & get inspired but stay away from the comparison game. We are all here to learn from each other & grow together. I thank God He has given me this passion for creativity & I want to share it with everyone. God Bless_+
That is one way to approach drawing and there's nothing wrong with that if that is what you enjoy! Just remember: there's not only one way to learn "how" to draw. There's a multitude! The tricky part is just finding the "how" that feels best to you.

That's great to hear, Jeremiah! So glad you have found your groove and discovered what you enjoy! :D
I remember mentioning to my son's therapist a while back that I wished I knew how to draw.
She remarked, 'but you *can* draw, Robert. I've seen you draw, and you do it very well.'
'Oh, yes, I *can* draw. But I still wish I knew *how*.'
To me, art is not so much an experience to be enjoyed as a problem to be solved. I make art to solve the problem of understanding.
