I've read books, followed tutorials, posted in forums, and I'm still not good at drawing. In the forums they told me to be patient, and I've been; I've been for almost 8 years. I've given up many many times though. Now that I know about polarization, I'd like to try something new by giving others what I've learnt from books and tutorials, by helping them to improve, and by replying to their posts this time. And maybe one day, I'd be able to draw as a master.

I believe I'm a lightworker. I want to master creative arts like drawing, making music and programming [don't ask for that one ]

Do you think that by helping others to achieve their goals, providing that my current knowledge is sufficient, I would make some progress? Do you think it is the right thing to do?

When I started C programming language and got that burning energy to help others with things I was learning, moderators in #c irc channel would voiced me off for providing false information [not all were though ] to new comers. I've learned to keep my fingers away from keyboard when I don't have much answer to give.

How can I change this habit now? How can I help people become good at drawing [for example] when I'm still myself in the learning process?

Food for thought... there are always people who have more knowledge on a subject than other people... You have 8 years of drawing practice (admittedly on and off) and therefore 8 years of experience. Can you remember what it was like on that first day that you decided to start learning to draw? There are people in that same stituation, and as far as they're concerned, you have more knowledge to impart on the subject than they have. Art and drawing (and I would say all art forms) are a constant learning process. I have been drawing all my life... as far back as I can remember anyway. I am a competent artist and I know what skills I have, and I certainly also know that I am lacking in other areas. I just have to view the masters works of previous eras, and of this era to see that.

Cheers,
Chris
