    I was just talking to a coworker yesterday about this. We have some very creative kids where I work, and my coworker was working with a five year old who loves drawing Spiderman. The coworker said something about not being able to draw. I pointed out the kid and mentioned that he’s only been drawing for, what, 3-4 years max? He practices the skill and naturally isn’t perfect, but it all starts with picking up a pencil (or marker, or crayon) and making that first effort.

    It may be crude at first, but as the kid shows, it’s not the quality that matters - it’s the desire to create. If you feel that whim, all you have to do is follow it.
