Why do you want to learn to draw?
I ask everyone this question. And I hear a lot of answers — manga series, children's books, NFT collections, t-shirt businesses, murals for the guest bedroom.
Big plans. Complicated reasons. One small problem: most of these people have never actually drawn anything.
In this film, I interview a series of people about why they want to make art — and then I ask them one simple follow-up question that reveals everything. And then I talk to a seven-year-old who has it all figured out.
If you've been waiting for the right reason to start drawing, this film is for you.
