      1. Empty yourself out

      2. Mount yourself on rails

      3. Wait for someone to fill you up

      If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

      In order to be a good drawer, you must be able to hold things well. When people put something, like a shirt for instance, into a drawer, they expect for that drawer to have the strength and conviction to hold their shirt for them until they come back. Your ability to hold items will vary depending on what type of drawer you are. A kitchen drawer may hold more than a bathroom drawer.
      Some things to avoid, as a drawer:
      Dropping stuff.
      Running out of room in your inventory.
      Falling out of the dresser or cabinet.
      Bursting into flames, spontaneously.

      Visualization, daydreaming, lucid dreaming. The more you imagine things moving and from different angles, the better you'll be at perception and drawing items out of basic shapes.

      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      I just noticed that Taosaur beat me to the joke. Now I feel like a twit.
      That wasn't very helpful either, was it...

      You have to learn to really see the world. I mean...really...see it. Break through all of the optical illusions and realize what it is that your eyes are seeing. It's not easy. You are being deceived by your eyes pretty much all the time, and learning to see what actually is, and not just what you perceive things to be is a constant challenge. Personally I think that being a good artist is something that you either are or aren't...it's innate. But you could start with some simple instructive books and practice practice practice and practice some more.
