  Drawing can be learned.
  Type can be learned.
  What is much more difficult to learn in either medium is actual creative, original thinking. Anyone can copy good drawing styles or follow in the footsteps of say modernism. But not everyone is Paul Rand. Not everyone is Anita Kuntz. It will never be easy to excell. It will never be easy to consistantly surprise and delight regardless of whether your medium is type or drawing.

  Illustrators they say have a love affair with the human form whereas designers have a love affair with typography. Both of these take a lifetime to master.
