I have plenty of friends who can draw, but I can not.

Kind of. I was okay at art when I was at school but never took it seriously, being fairly undisciplined. My patience for drawing anything is about half an hour max; I drew http://vometia.com/images/tes/vomsketch2-s.jpg in about 10 minutes before I decided I'd had enough.

I'm slightly disturbed by the example in the OP. :o

This just made my day. :D
And I can draw decent enough drawings I suppose, if I try.

With pen and paper? No.
With Paint? Still a no, but it's not total crap. http://webgel.net/bf/1/Canmera2.jpg, it was meant to be the setting of a fantasy story I was planning, but never finished.

I'm quite jealous of your art skills. :sadvaultboy:

@OP- I really wish I hadn't clicked your link. That's disgusting and disturbing. :nope:

I cant draw.
I have a picture in my head of how I want it, but my hands never seem to able to do it.

I also cant dance.
I have absolutely no sense of rythm and bad balance.

When I sing people usually politely ask me to stop.
Im not tonedeaf, but again its a thing of my body not doing what my brain wants it to do.

Im terrible at sports.
Its the co-ordination again and also Ive never seen the point of it.

I can however write. I like language and Im good with words.
Ive been told by colleagues that memo's or other random job-related stuff from me can be a joy to read.

So thats something.

I can draw to a certain degree, but not exceedingly well. Just okay.

Be jealous of people with some actual talent! I've seen a lot of stuff that makes me green with envy, especially on the likes of Deviantart. Some people seem to do it so effortlessly, too...

Making things seem effortless is a sign of true skill and usually a lot harder than it looks.
A smiling and joking juggler that doesnt seem to pay much attention to the whirling stuff is better than one sweating with concentration.
But Im willing to bet it takes a whole lot of effort to make it seem effortless :)

I drew http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/AMPenguin/img017.jpg a year or so ago, but that's pretty much the only time I've ever spent very long on drawing anything in my life. I don't care what you say vom, I'm still jealous of the fact that you can do something like that in ten minutes. Mine took a few hours, and it's not exactly fantastic.

I do keep meaning to put some practice into my drawing skills though. I bought a sketch pad and some pencils, but I dunno what to draw. I think maybe more dinosaurs might be on the cards...

EDIT: Actually, that's not the final version of the T-Rex - his mouth is all messed up there... I'll just upload the better one.
EDIT2: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v330/AMPenguin/img020.jpg we go. This one is full of lyrics from a song I wrote about a magic dinosaur, but that's why I was drawing the picture, after all...

I have a decent "eye" for shape, form, color and can draw more than stick-men, but I have not spent time trying to become better/skilled, so I can't actually draw anything worth mentioning. Occasionally I've thought about trying some painting, but ... yeah, I don't have that kind of discipline.

I spent a few hours on Sunday drawing exclusively stick-figures.

It really helps get a sense of gesture, pose, etc. Fundamentals.

Don't knock the stick-men!

http://i.imgur.com/ETQPU.jpg is probably the best thing I've ever done. Meh. I've trying to do some more stylistic, unique stuff, lately though.

Depends if you class digital art as drawing...even then, it's not exactly amazing. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/57101485/Parkour01.png

I actually recently dropped my technological studies course to take art so I can go to Uni for computer art :wink: Just a little strange this thread popped up today :tongue:

You could.

My current empty glass of soda is modern art too. The empty glass represents the emptiness of life and the inevitable end of all things, but the few drops at the bottom symbolize the hope for the better.

I got to agree with 8 bit here. Stick figures are legitimate forms of art too. I'm a horrible drawer, I am both a horrid drawer and a horrid writer(my teachers and my parents have been pestering me about my writing ever since I was a little kid) but stick figures I can do. To anyone who doesn't think it's legit, I'll play the artistic ace in the hole:It's an art style

...I fail to see how "modern art" can be called art. Just now, there was a Danish exhibition on the news here. Apparently, the people behind the gallery thought live six on a scene in front of all the visitors could be called modern art.
It's incredible what passes as artistic expressionism these days.

Everything is art...six can be art, look at today's media. I bet you don't realise how influenced you are by modern art ;)

There's certainly art involved in some genres of that particular subject though.

And since video technology is relatively new, it's got to be modern art.
