The Scribblers

I come from a family of artists, so naturally, that was the path that I wanted to take. Both my grandmothers are gifted painters. My parents musicians. My sister can make the most realistic portraits I've ever seen with only a mechanical pencil. So, as you can imagine, I was confused when my hand would not make the elaborate work of art that lived in my brain. Why couldn't I steady my hand to draw a smooth line? Why couldn't I draw noses? Why did my proportions look so...weird?
