"The most essential of all fine art is drawing, for in the fine line of drawing is the birth of the creative spark." - Vian Borchert

Why is drawing so essential?
It is in drawing that one starts to see things in a much deeper level allowing the right side of the brain to come alive with every line drawn and throughout this creative endeavor and experience, channels and cognitive gateway start opening up within the brain allowing for better visual and creative thought not only making one a skilled artist by overall better observation on problem solving and creating a better mindset to approaching life altogether.
