Because that\u2019s an awesome thing to draw. And you\u2019re pretty happy with it. And then you look over at your friend and they\u2019re drawing a dinosaur with a rocket launcher attached to it\u2019s head too, but their\u2019s looks a heck of a lot more like an actual dinosaur with an actual rocket launcher attached to it\u2019s head. And suddenly your dinosaur looks more like a deformed cow than a dinosaur and maybe the rocket launcher just looks like a cardboard tube from a roll of toiler paper. And you think \u201cI suck at drawing! To hell with this! I FORSAKE DRAWING!\u201d and you go with your back-up plan and become an accountant and spend the rest of your life doing math problems and avoiding any situation in which you might be expected to draw something. You casually joke about how you \u201ccan\u2019t even draw a stick figure.\u201d Or maybe you just become more interested in other things. And that\u2019s fine. But to give up on something so fun, something so magical, so human\u2026 it still seems ridiculous to me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class='attribution'>Phil McAndrew, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.philintheblanks.com\/stories\/drawlikeasixyearold.html\">Draw Like a Six-Year-Old<\/a> (via <a class=\"tumblr_blog\" href=\"http:\/\/catulla.tumblr.com\/\">catulla<\/a>)<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maybe at some point in your childhood you\u2019re drawing a dinosaur with a rocket launcher attached to it\u2019s head or something.
