    I really like drawing myself, but sadly, I'm pretty bad at it. It's fun to learn, but there's a lot of natural drawers out there who can draw very well. I'm not one of them, but I still really like drawing!

    I can draw alright but it's not professional quality. I always envied the people who were able to draw as well as what you'd see on comic books but since I didn't have that level of skill I just chose to focus on other things as a hobby.

    I used to be interested in drawing when I was younger. Now, I no longer have time for anything. I haven't drawn a single thing in almost three years exactly (which is when I'd enrolled college). I used to draw all the time, but now I just don't. I did attempt a sketch about a year ago, but I never finished it. It's still not shaded properly and even some pieces of the background are missing... I guess there's so much to do that you can't focus on things you like.

    Drawing is an art form. I cannot draw very well but as posters above said it is a skill that needs to be developed.

    Those guys that draw a self portrait of you or with your spouse on the boardwalk truly have impressed me. Less than 30 minutes too.

    That's a true skill and true talent - a combination of both is necessary for someone to be able to draw that quickly and with a fair likeness. They somehow manage to breathe life into their works in such a short time, which is incredible. It's a shame I don't have time for drawing. I wish I could dedicate myself to it. It's one of the noblest arts there is.

    I am good at drawing if I concentrate, do it slowly. I am very meticulous taking details into consideration. For long I haven't actually make any drawing but sure if I get back to the board I'm sure to do good work again

    I am a decent drawing artist. And it can be a bit difficult for me to get things properly draw as well. I am not sure how some people can draw long term but it seems like there are lot of people who do get into the drawing and it works out.

    That is an area I am not good at. I am not talented at all.

    I have always admired drawing, especially graffiti but have never learned how to do it.

    I think you just gotta keep practicing, after all, practice makes perfect.

    I'm not that good in drawing but I can say that I am an average drawer.

    There are lots of video tutorials in youtube and in google sites too. As for me, I learned sketching when I joined art club during high school. From then on I started to create my style in Art. Now I can sketch realistic and unrealistic objects. I can even do paintings which I can sell on Amazon.

    I'm not that good in drawing but I know how to draw. Before, I never thought that I can sketch or draw statues of Greek gods or even human faces. When I draw or sketch I take note of the shadow and lighting details, because shadows and lightnings will make you drawing more realistic. You take note of every detail of your subjects features and its component, don't miss a spot. That's my technique, I usually use smudges on my sketch for its easier for me. But right now, I'm learning not to use smudges.
