Bet they're not as f**k-tarded as mine!

I wouldn't, there's some rage burning in some mods.

It'd be a close battle. There should be a national competition.

I dare you
I will hurt you all.
Told you.... Burning rage!
I bet Norman would have done it. In order to win the girl.
I double-dare

Yeah, that's what they all say.. Those who can.
It's easy to them & they can't see why others find it difficult.

Drawing is something you can genuinely learn if you have normal motor skills! It certainly helps if you are that way inclinded, but you can train most people up to a pretty decent level. Takes a LOT of procatice though if you're not naturally good at it.

Well yes and no, I can of course do perfectly good engineering drawings and can sketch electronic circuits or even draw electronic circuits at publishable quality, and I can, I suppose, draw scenes by working to memorised rules of perspective etc, but there is no flair there; as art they are uninteresting.
My father was an excellent artist, self-taught but it seems pretty much to have skipped my generation and reappeared in the next one. One nephew in the UK and one niece in the USA appear to have inherited the skill.
Here are a few samples of my father's paintings. Click each picture for an enlarged image.

As you can see I put that page up in 2002 and despite saying I might change the pictures every week I regret I haven't done so,
Being able to draw and being able to 'create art' are two different things!
Oooh they're pretty paintings.
