and creativity is a bug!
I'm with my man for 18 months and already his mum and sister are painting and saying they got their creativity from me.
I'm not taking credit for their work cos I wouldn't hang it in my place to be fair, but creativity can be learned and so I'm sure drawing can.

"Drawing can be learned. It can be learned by anyone. It's like being creative, we are born creative, that's why we all love Crayola out the box."
i would disagree.
I would like to ask why is there are so many designers, artist and etc from art schooll who is not that good?
- BNoir0
MrDinky...
cos they can't be bothered?
If you wanna, you do

nrdink either you have the will or you dont focus and determination lead to great things.
talent only gets you headed in the right direction

I stopped drawing all together for almost a year - I think my design suffered from it. I have to remind my self to draw now simply for practice.

Likewise anyone can pay to enter an art college; this does not mean they are there to take advantage of every second of education that is offered.
Just because you HEAR me, doesn't mean your listening.

I have seen alot people who try very hard and keep trying but the end product is not that great.
like any other skill sets, its all about the bell curve.
alot of us fall in to the middle but there are few who falls in the ends.

break it down - what is drawing?
drawing is the ability to take one's conscious ideas and translate them into physical visual representations.
So, yes for the most part drawing would be good for most designers to get better at translating their ideas, but you can't say that someone NEEDS it to be a good designer.
Some designers may have other methods for translating ideas.
side question: Do you think pure minimalists need to be good at drawing?

what did you say dan?
- Spix0
did not read the responses here, but i dont think so. not at all. I would say no. Problably not. it is doubtful.
- BNoir0
I think we should leave bell ends out of this...
- MrDinky0
so why is most of people in PVN are not comparible to NT broadcasters?
alot of us try really hard but when in comparison, the work is not up to par
- MrDinky0
so Dan and Bnoir
are you guys designers?
go to art school?
- BNoir0
Yeah, designer, yeah arty farty and uni, but I couldn't draw for nuts till my old cd insisted I always started with a pad and pen before I hit the mac.
I learnt a lot not just to draw...
- dan_dan_dan0
Drawing can be learned and creativity can be fostered. This does not mean we are all at equal levels of capability.
We are all perfect in potential.
It may take some longer than others. Because the end of a course is determined by a University program does not mean that everyone who participates will come to full bloom at the same time.
- BNoir0
I agree d_d_d
we're all on our own journeys.
if you can't draw yet, try a different way of going at it. why be defeated?
- dan_dan_dan0
Well I'm a graduated designer. Yeah. But not all of us are. And being a graduate designer does not make me better than a self taught creative/artist.
I WOULD say, however, my level of tolerance and understanding for learning by way of my interaction with a university education helps me .
- MrDinky0
to say that everyone has equal potential is unfair to claim.
i do agree that being taught and practice does make you a better designer or what ever but talent is not something you can learn.
- Spix0
why be defeted? well.. it is not that...it is just that i get by without drawing and i have other things i need to spend my time at then try to learn...like drinking beer.
