Can't Draw

Dorrie

I really struggle with drawing. I think it's the coordination and concentration it requires. My lines are always wiggly and either too big on one side or too small on the other. I find it frustrating and it's extremely tiring, usually I'm feeling sleepy before I finish drawing.

I own lots of pencils and colours but I can't really use them. I see a lot of cool drawings and watch artists on YouTube and I'm sad I can't draw like they do.

  • You might want to try sketching for now, as sketches are not meant to be precise lines and really neat, so you won't need to concentrate so hard and you can use a light touch so not much physical energy either.  You can sketch in colours too, or use watercolour paints if easier.  Its best to tind a way that works for you, and later on you might be able to sketch light lines and then go over them slowly to make them neat.  Watch some videos on sketching.
