"Dear James Beautifully articulated. I enjoyed it thoroughly as it was reassuring once own belief. Sadly few colleagues from design teaching fraternity very strongly feel that drawing skill is not a must for the design entrant and any student can be trained for drawing. I believe no matter how good farmer one is he will not be able to change the fertility value of a land. Therefore, basic skill of drawing must be an important set of skill a design entrant must have . Thanks for such a nice article."
