You can try to avoid drawing and there are lots of tools that you can buy to make art with out drawing: stencils, stamps and coloring books.
But if you have the urge to make your own unique art, to express your voice in the world, then the tug of drawing is there. I know because I am not natural lover of drawing. I judge myself too harshly and I often resist the process.
Now I know that:
- drawing is an essential tool.
- the more I draw the more I like what I draw
- drawing can be a scribble (google Cy Twombly drawings)
- kids drawing are moving because they are raw and real
Try this:
- Get 10 sheets of copy paper
- Stand up, wiggle, breathe and stretch
- Arm out stretched and soft pencil in hand scribble with abandon
- Just keep making marks
- Get a new sheet when you feel like it
How did it go?
- Did it feel fun? Foolish?
- Were you judging or allowing?
- Did you trust yourself?
- Do you feel looser, freer?
