Waler said: "We do have a slight difference. I never was an artist."
I mentioned two occasions in my entire life (until I was in my mid twenties) that I saw "glimpses" that I could do much better than I currently did.I wasn't drawing replicas of the Mona Lisa in those instances or anything.
I meant I was drawing better than stick men, which was about my limit in all other attempts (just like you).
Just had to make that absolutely clear in case you somehow formed the impression that my artwork used to hang in the louvre until I banged my head, lost my memory, and then only remembered how to draw again when I direct learned a few books.That is not the case! CLEAR!
But yeah if you're determined to prove to yourself that you can't do this, then feel free to hijack and misconstrue my words and use me as an excuse by saying that direct learning obviously only works for people who already have the skill.I do mind you doing this, but then I can't really stop you writing what you like.And after all, it's your life, so please yourself!
