I'm terrible at drawing but I want to learn. Like, stick figures are my current peak level. Is drawing something anyone can learn with practice, or do you need natural talent? What resources (books, websites, exercises) would you recommend for someone starting from absolute zero? |

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards. This book will teach you to see like an artist. Everyone can learn to draw — it's a skill, not a talent. |

Draw something every single day for 30 days. Doesn't matter what. The act of daily practice rewires your hand-eye coordination. Keep a sketchbook and don't judge yourself. |

Loomis' 'Fun with a Pencil' for figure drawing basics. You can find PDFs online. The man was a master teacher. |
