Things No One Can Draw Well

Jayfarer:
Horses in mid-trot.

Them's hard.

That reminds me.
Legend has it that Pablo Picasso was sketching in the park when a bold woman approached him.

“It’s you — Picasso, the great artist! Oh, you must sketch my portrait! I insist.”

So Picasso agreed to sketch her. After studying her for a moment, he used a single pencil stroke to create her portrait. He handed the women his work of art.

“It’s perfect!” she gushed. “You managed to capture my essence with one stroke, in one moment. Thank you! How much do I owe you?”

“Five thousand dollars,” the artist replied.

“B-b-but, what?” the woman sputtered. “How could you want so much money for this picture? It only took you a second to draw it!”

To which Picasso responded, “Madame, it took me my entire life.”

This was on Drawn! last week I think and I've heard it a few times before that .. likely the event's aren't true but you know what.. the idea sure as hell is.

TheLanyard:
Wow.  I really like that story.

I can't draw anything mechanical to save my life.

I love drawing people, but since I've never taken an art class, I've never really gotten to try the whole model drawing thing...  Ha.  I'm probably the only person trying to make a webcomic without any sort of art training...

Alarra:
Hair and trees I can do no problem, but will agree with you on hands and feet. They are harder. I can draw them well enough, but they end up being redrawn 6 or 7 times before they're good enough.

This is what I read.  I need to sleep.

Basically, I can't draw.

I read it as "I can't draw trees"

Then I read your post, re read his, and read penises.

Then I laughed, because penises are funny.
