Have You Fallen for the Myth of ‘I Can’t Draw’? Do It Anyway—and Reap the Rewards

Drawing is a powerful tool of communication. It helps build self-understanding and can boost mental health.

But our current focus on productivity, outcomes, and “talent” has us thinking about it the wrong way. Too many believe the myth of “I can’t draw”, when in fact it’s a skill built through practice.

Dedicated practice is hard, however, if you’re constantly asking yourself: “What’s the point of drawing?”

As I argue in a 2021 paper in Closure E-Journal for Comic Studies, we need to reframe our concept of what it means to draw, and why we should do it – especially if you think you can’t.

Devoting a little time to drawing each day may make you happier, more employable, and sustainably productive.

    I can’t doesn’t exist in anybody’s vocabulary. You can and you will. That’s it that’s all.
