Anyone can draw. Myth or reality?

Everywhere is told that anyone can draw. I'm more of a “I can’t even draw a stick man” kind of guy. When i try to draw a stick man i just can't draw in the right proportions and it looks like an undiscovered math symbol. My handwriting is a disaster too. Long story short i think i shouldn't take pencil in my hands. But i think i have a good imagination and wanna represent this imagination in some way. 

So i started working on computer based programs tried photoshop and maya (a 3d modeling and animation software). In photoshop i made some very basic tricks. Nothing good came out of it in my hands because i was inexperienced in drawing. In maya i made some cool things. You would be suprised if you could see what could be built from the basic shapes like sphere, cubes etc. But i was stucked again in character design because i was bad in drawing.

So i was back to the point where i was started. I need to be able to draw. So i gave up. Then i saw some books in a bookstore about drawing. It again said "Anyone can draw". I thought i have nothing to lose. So here i am starting to drawing and this blog will be the outputs of my experiences and i hope to be able to draw good and give other people out there afraid of drawing a hope.

Good artists who follow/read/like/dislike this blog your criticism is very important for me. I am very open minded person and right now im following a dark road and dont know where it leads to. Just gonna follow some tutorials and books. If i go too fast/slow/wrong feel free to correct me.
