Can drawing really be learned?

In fact, say scientists, while some are born with natural talent, anyone can learn to draw well . The only catch is that ‘like all difficult skills, one probably needs 10,000 hours of practice to become really proficient’.

Learning to draw realistically takes an average of five to ten years of proper, consistent training. You can get to an average level in two years, but the number of skills you need to master to draw realistically requires time.

You can learn to draw ; you might not believe it, which is often the first stumbling block to attaining a new skill. Drawing is as much a mental game as an observational game. Sure, you need a basic skill level to hold a pencil and make a mark but not as much as you may think.
