Can your parents draw and how is your eyesight?

on: December 21, 2006, 11:35:46 am
Hi, I was interested to know was there a link between having parents (or one parent) who can draw reasonably well and being able to draw well yourself
(everyone here seems pretty good at drawing). I was also interested how many of us have some sort of eye problems (such as needing
glasses or contact lenses). I'm thinking that most of us will have a parent who can draw reasonably well and some sort of eyesight difficulty. Plz vote.
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

My folks can't draw much at all.  Terrible, I mean really, really terrible.  My sister was getting pretty good for a while.  She did a surprisingly almost realistic sketch of Michael Keaton's Batman years back.  She ain't drawn anything in years though.  Too busy with job and a kid and pubs and all that.

And my eyesight was messed up by a lousy optician who made me wear glasses for 13 years when apparently I never needed them in the first place, and had them ruining my vision.  According to the report several other kids back then also had the same thing happen by the same optician.  I quit wearing them when I started college all them years ago and my eyesights been steadily improving ever since.  Will need something for when I finally afford driving lessons but for everything else my eyesight is now fine.
keep on moving, lil dude...

I have good eyesight, but only my Mum is good at drawing (she took an art GCSE, and half an A level).

slight myopia, dad is a political cartoonist and as I remember mom was above average as a general amateur.

I used to have a lazy eye as a kid, but managed to correct it, so right now it is fine.
None of my parents draw/used to draw.

M' dad painted alot, but now he has too much work. M' mother doodles stuff at work when she gets bored (Her job is pretty much to make sure the idiots in cars don't blow up the Cost-Co gas station).
And I have 20/15 vision.

Slight myopia on both eyes, I've never seen either of my parents draw, and will just assume that they can't. My uncle, brother and sister are definitely above average though.

My mum, dad (though he can't draw to save his live), granddad and uncle are all professional artists. 
I have been wearing glasses since I was 17(due to heavy computer use). No one in my family wears glasses.
