There is a reason why the rather nasty Supper at Emmaus van Meegeren forgery was able to fools the experts, and that's that Vermeer wasn't a particularly good draughtsman early on. Good colourist for the most part, yes, but not much cop at getting things straight or in proportion.

Quote examples

I think you meant this as "one can", but if it's true, you can do far more than most trained draughtsman can do and you would certainly be considered and "artist", for there is no way to do this that doesn't imbue it with your personal style. Style flows from observation and execution, or at least it should--not the other way around. At least it does in good art schools. Having a "style" is quite frowned upon for beginning students. Style is earned through dumping preconceptions and truly seeing without prejudice. But to talk to your points, as the sibling reply points out, here drawing is being singled out as glimpse into the exploratory mind of the artist that a finished work cannot give.
