Interesting Martin, Picasso back in the day was a skilled  draughtsman he really was an artist .   Look at some of his early work.  He deviated  intvarious directions and it was a matter of personal opinion if you liked them or not. The lady in question is not very talented in her drawing skills...fact.  But she is extremely good at marketing.

Picasso painted this at the age of 15, safe to say he could draw.

Martin.  You wrote : I'm genuinely curious as to what you regard as 'proper' drawing ie what exactly qualifies these as amateurish scrawls. These images are from someone classed as a "Professor of drawing" by the R&A and probably netted their creator a great deal of money one way and another and considerable fame..  Good luck to her for that, an admirable skill. I very much doubt she'll lose any sleep over my opinion (which is all it was).

Opinions and facts often seem to get confused on the forum.... We're often not on the same wavelength, that's online conversation for you. Most of the drawing on this site is conventional, Tracey Emin may choose not to draw in this way.

She has her supporters….  Apparently Jonathan Jones is an art critic for the Guardian.

Each to their own...noticed the design was  for the 2012 Paralympics and knowing one of the guys in that playing wheelchair Rugby for Wales I can't see the connection.

'Can draw a line that communicates feeling every time.' What a load of pretentious twaddle!

Jonathan was born in North Wales, so he has this in his corner if nothing else.
