Can't Draw Won't Draw



There comes a time when to "try and try again" should be "face it, you're shit, give up". Not to everything in life but definitely certain areas. Like drawing. I can't draw to save my life. I have tried to give it a go, even bought books on lighting and shading. But at the end of the day I'm trying to climb a mountain wearing roller skates.
It's so much easier to find someone that can do it for you. Creatives all the time commission illustrators and cartoonists to execute their ideas.
Because I can't draw doesn't mean I cant respect and appreciate others that can. That's why I have posted two pictures from Frank Frazetta. If you don't know about the guy or his work you're in for a treat. His range of styles and techniques, blew me away when I was a teenager and happened to stumble on trading cards of his work. I have his second edition of cards framed on my wall at home.
This guy was one of the true greats with a pen, pencil, or brush in his hand.
