Pencil Drawing Art Lessons

There are three elements that are standing between you, and what you want to draw.

The first element is time. Many aspiring artists put off developing their drawing ability give all kinds of excuses. "I don't have enough time", "I'm busy with career and family", "I'll get started when I can find the time", and so on and so forth.

The truth is, these people are never going to get started. The next day comes and go, and we still hear the same excuses. Tomorrow just never comes! Without consciously setting aside the time to draw, nothing is ever going to happen. If the artist feels that he or she doesn't have the skills (which I'll come to later), there's a need to set aside time to develop those skills. No excuses.

The second element is skills. Some people have the talent, but sometimes they just don't know it. I don't care what anybody says, but talent without development is such a complete waste. Talent is nothing without development. The more talented artists just learn quicker than others, but still, without guidance and direction, it's all for nothing.

So how do we know if someone has the talent? Nature has its way of revealing that to the artist some way or the other. I want you to think hard from some past events in your life. Have you ever drawn or sculpted something naturally and it just came out looking good? Maybe not great yet, since the talent has not yet been developed but good enough. Any incident at all? If you have such memories, chances are, you have the talent without even you knowing it.

The final element is the most important element of all the three discussed in this article. And that's interest and passion. Know that this is very different from talent. Some people are talented in sports, but they take no active interest. As a result, they lose that athletic ability later in life. We see this happening all the time around us. We lose what we don't use.

But the main reason why this single element is so important is that without passion, the artist loses the drive to continue developing his god given talent. Learning to draw, like many other things in life, is not a destination. It's a journey. We learn new things all the time, and we just keep learning and perfecting our drawing skills as we go.

So we know it's vital and critical that we keep fostering that passion that lies within us. Coming back to the question, "Do you know how to draw anything and everything you want?" The answer lies in combining all the three elements above. If you can find the time to develop your talent, know that you have the talent, and have a strong passion for drawing, you will and can succeed.
