I won't show you how to draw-you wouldn't even want that! Instead, I'll show you how to learn to draw. Doesn't it sound more possible than becoming as good as someone else in no time? If you agree with me, join me in this great quest. Being better than yesterday is your goal. Once you set your future self as your point of reference, you'll be constantly progressing. That "future you" should be your ideal, because becoming as good as him or her is what depends on you, not the skill/determination of others. There's your dream about you drawing what you want, in any style you want, without being constantly critiqued for your mistakes. But it's not them you should be catching up on. How could you possibly bridge that gap? Will you ever catch up on them? Those children who never gave up are working as professionals now, and their art looks almost magical. Now, whatever the reason, you want to come back, but it seems so scary. Whenever you heard someone else being praised, and your own work ignored, you felt worse and worse.
Not that you knew what "better" meant-all you knew was the sweetness of praise. But even then you might have noticed that some children drew better than you. It was easy back then, no matter if you used color pencils, a stick, or your finger on a steamy window.
