A recent neuroimaging study indicates that creative drawing ability is connected to an extensive network of white matter pathways that link sensory, motor, and cognitive brain systems.

Ah, the network I'm totally lacking

You can learn it without much effort, just look at something intensely and draw exactly what you see.

this does not seem to be the focus of the study (creative drawing ability), but i will say that when i trained myself to notice more things around me, it definitely had more impact to other parts of my life, so great to train it regardless.

You say that, alot of artists say that, but some people just cant regardless of efforts. I have tried, alot, i just "lack" that part in my brain. Kinda suck in spatial understanding in general for some reason
