Yes, anyone can learn to draw. You may think you have no talent but others may well appreciate what you draw. A natural talent may make the learning process easier, but drawing is as much of a skill as a talent. As with any other skill, this can be learned.
In our article Can Anyone Learn To Draw? We look at why anyone can learn to draw.
For example, one person may have a wonderfully natural talent, but they might not be particularly focussed or driven. Someone else may have very little natural talent but practices constantly and has a real drive to improve their drawing skills. Overall, their ability might well progress in a similar way.
Ask yourself, do you think all the artists we now think of as naturally talented thought they were at the time they started drawing or painting? I doubt it. Some may well have had the same doubts you are having right now. We all doubt ourselves at certain times. Stay focussed and practice and you will see your drawing improve. That is the only sure thing in the world of art.
