How to draw and why ?

I started to draw when I was in my late 30s. I didn't go to art school; I just bought a couple of instructional books, and I started out. It was kind of a disaster; the first drawing I did was pretty bad, so was the second. It seemed like I just had no ability to draw at all, and I almost gave up. Maybe this has happened to you, and you're despairing of ever getting any good at drawing. Let me give you some reassurance and some tips.
