"I can't draw."
Their words struck the female more so than what one would expect. With such speed, a type that most would exaggerate to be faster than the 'speed of light'. A deep, solid thrust of the movement of the shoulder. Like a domino effect; the push from the shoulder to the arm, to the elbow, and a short distance to the wrist. The grizzly bears palm flashed to make a solid impact with the face of the speaker whom doubts. Davis takes no ones shit.

Ahem, I do believe some have already covered this topic, but I'd like to speak for it myself.
"I could never draw like that!"
"I wish I could draw like you!"
"I can't draw."
"I can't even draw a stick figure!"
Whatever variation of this common assertion is the most stupidest and dullest statement I believe to have, and continue to hear every single day of my life drawing.
Really, I'm sorry to be the asshole here, but the only reason you can't draw is because you don't try.
To the people who want to become an artist, yet feel they don't have the skill set to do so, may I advice you to actually try.
Simple enough.
Yes, I understand not everyone is born with the 'sacred hand for the fine arts', but it doesn't hurt to actually push yourself. That's how you get good.
Let me point out that those of us that are artists aren't born out of the womb drawing the Mona Lisa. We were all horrible artists, believe it or not, once upon a time.
Do you know why we're good??
Because we fucking practiced. We spent hours, mind boggling hours in a crumpled little chair, wearing our little fingers to tiny, bloody nubs for art. We've been tiring our hands for years.
You never start out good, you have to work for it.
If you decide to give up, you'll never improve.
I'll use an example: Courtney (aka ProbablyNotSober)
She started out not so well, just being honest.
I was still proud of her for she still actually tried.
And would you look at her art now? I'm utterly impressed.
I'm very proud.
Work bitches. Work.
