Because I don't have any sense of a formalised approach to drawing -I never "learned how" to do it - every one seems like starting from the very beginning & every one seems like a miracle when it "works" and depresses me when it doesn't. That said I wouldn't have it any other way but I feel "gifted in the basics of art", for me at least, would be flying under false colours... I wrote a piece called "learning to draw in public" -it's here http://www.michaelszpakowski.org/ and it enlarges upon my uncertainties at some length...
