I have always been the type of writer who relies on my "way with words" - as my family calls it - to create my images/vision because I lack drawing ability. But, some writers out there can do both; here are some examples:
-J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has made it no secret that she can draw and has various times, shown off some of her HP character sketches.
-Christopher Paolini, the author of the Inheritence trilogy, drew the art for the original self-published version of Eragon. (Of course some people have questioned his writing ability because of the similarities between his series and The Lord of the Rings)
-James Cameron, the writer and director of Titanic, can certainly draw. His drawing talent is responsible for the nude sketch of "Rose" used in the film, Titanic.
And it's not just drawing ability. Some writers can also write music or sing or act. Is anyone out there like I am - someone who can't draw, write music, sing, or act (not that I've tried) and only has "a way with words?"
Of course, I am pretty good at computer graphic design, but does that even count?
