Ziehen - To Draw

I find it stupidly difficult to draw even the simplest of things to any degree of skill of accuracy besides the average kindergarten art class project. With special children. Okay, so perhaps children with disabilities may be on a slightly lower rung of that ladder, but that’s only because it’s not wheelchair accessible. If it was art-skill ramp, I’d be eating their dirt - which would make a change for them, as that‘s usually something they do. Drawing shouldn’t be that difficult: you have a perfect, infinitely high definition image right in front of your eyes or in your head. All that’s required is the transposition of that to paper via a pencil with your amazingly complex and capable hand. Yet it becomes such an impossible task! I’m glad it isn’t just me that struggles with this, and I can happily laugh at other people’s frankly shit efforts because I’d be fine with them poking fun at mine. If only everyone else shared the same self-deprecating attitude the world would be a far better place. But people get so defensive about everything - “You couldn’t do any better!” Well yeah, I know, but that doesn’t stop yours from being absolutely shit, does it? The two are mutually exclusive! My lack of skill has absolutely no bearing on yours. I have no self-confidence about almost everything I do, so I really don’t care if someone insults me or something I’ve created. Or my inability to end a piece of writing with any real sense of conclusion. Except this one of course. Any criticism will result in immediate retaliatory physical violence. You’ve been warned.
