The ability to draw, I think, is as inate as most skills but can be learned.
I 'can' draw, but I always struggled with drawing the female form (my favourite subject cos i love the female form...the curves, the movement,...hang on, I need to stop thinking about the female form a minute...
Anyway, I 'discovered' that if I treated the female form in terms of triangles (go with me on this lol) then I could at least give myself a 'framework' to work with. I'll explain:
Take a triangle with the 'pointy bit' pointing down, then place another triangle (with 'pointy bit' pointing up) on top of the first triangle so that a 'diamond' shape is made at thier intersection. You now have an angular version of an hour-glass shape - this gives me the torso of the female. I can then gauge where to 'place' boobies and bellybuttons!
What I'm trying to say is this - if 'classical techniques' don't work, try geometrical representations; heads are upside down egg shaped, etc.
I'm posting some of the pictures I've done:
As with everything in life, practice makes perfect...keep trying dude, and remember that Art is subjective and there is no 'right way' to express it.
