Since you are able to make posts like this, I assume you have eyesight and at least one functioning limb. That means you CAN draw. You simply believe you don't and don't want to actually test yourself.

I "couldn't draw for shit" just like that 2.5 years ago (and some people still say I can't)—then I tried for the first time in years since high school, pic related—and I couldn't indeed draw what I envisioned properly, but that didn't make me give up, so I tried, and tried, and tried, and tried (*repeat a thousand times)... and along the way some people started saying things like "you have talent," "great colors, dude," "damn, your Yuuka is sexy," even liking, bookmarking, and saving my stuff, and over time the proportion and numbers of those who liked my works have increased. Drawing is a mechanical skill, and taste can be developed too. There is likely no artistic talent in me, just determination born out of a mix of my obstinate personality and love for my wife.

Just how many times have I given this pep talk to people?
