Did you learn to write or draw without studying the samples of artists and authors before you?

Kids one hundred percent learn to draw without sampling from other authors.

Do kids draw in a private room, with no other kids around, and are blindfolded from birth until one day, they're given crayons and paper? Do they also not see pictures in books read to them by adults? They may not have taken an art history class and ingested an Internet's worth of Artstation and Greg Rutkowski, but they have plenty of outside influence.

Of course, their limited motor skills get in the way, but they're working on it.
