“Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.”
— Salvador Dali

Simplified Meaning:
Drawing tells the truth about someone's skill. You can't pretend or fake being good at it. Think about baking a cake: if you don't have the right ingredients or don't bake it long enough, the cake won't turn out well. Just like with drawing, if you don't practice or don't put in the effort, it will show. A drawing will clearly show if it's done well or poorly. So, if you want to be good at drawing, be honest with yourself about how much you practice and improve your skills. This way, you'll get better results over time.
