I don't really think you can be taught to draw by someone else, most of the artistic process comes from trial and error by you drawing yourself, discovering your own strengths and weaknesses and working on those areas. You can be taught techniques but where to apply them is down to you, and drawing is entirely subjective so what you want to do in your art may be wrong to someone else. In the long run someone who doesn't have a natural flair for art will probably struggle later on. If you don't have a natural eye for things that are wrong in your piece, or how your artwork flows you will hit a brick wall at some point, but with time, patience and effort you can become a good artist anyway.
I'm not sure if I'm a natural at at, I'm pretty impatient to be honest, but maybe because I've been doing it for sooo long I've improved. If I compare my work in Year 7 to my work now there is a huge leap there.
