I had two great art teachers. At one time I planned to be a graphic artist, but kind of got the idea that I wouldn't have been cut out for it. However, the teachers did start by getting you to just draw, but then they would make subtle hints about how to look at the objects, and how to represent it. Practically anything can be drawn from a skeleton of circles, squares and other shapes. Your artistic skill is then how you represent the detail, but at least you can draw coke cans and peppers and have them easily recognisable. I think I must have been very lucky then.
