Why can’t I draw anything good?
Reason 1 – You Need More Practice This is probably the most common reason why people struggle with drawing. They simply need more practice to get better. Drawing is a skill and like with any other skill, you can’t expect to get better without practicing it.
Why do I not want to draw anymore?
You can’t draw anymore because you took a (long) break from drawing, you practiced too little or wrong and may have neglected the basics. To combat this you can start drawing daily again, practice more/better and revisit the basics.
Can you be taught to draw?
You can learn to draw; you might not believe it, which is often the first stumbling block to attaining a new skill. Drawing is as much a mental game as an observational game. Sure, you need a basic skill level to hold a pencil and make a mark but not as much as you may think.
