I had an art teacher who loved to talk about the athletes she got into art. She insisted they had really good hand control, a good eye, good sense for the body, and the biggest impediment was mental, that “jocks” didn’t think drawing was cool, but she was able to get one to give it a try & to keep practicing, some ended up being pretty good.
Steve Rogers, more popularly known as Captain America, is canonically a cartoonist and art major. (You see a bit of it in his first movie, where he’s sketching throughout the war.) There used to be a webcomic that had the conceit of being his cartoon diary since waking up in the 21st century. In it, he still drew himself as the skinny nerd he was back in high school during the Depression, despite now being a militarized ideal slab of beef. It was a nuanced, funny, melancholy comic and it’s a shame it’s been taken down.
