No, it's not hard at all! Anyone can draw, and you don't need any sort of fancy equipment to do so. You can use pens (felt, ink, even ballpoint), pencils, crayons, pastel and charcoal sticks. You can draw in a sketchbook, on illustration board or just a piece of scratch paper. Just draw!

P.S. One of the best pieces of advice I ever heard about drawing came from a Life Drawing teacher. He said, "Draw what you see, not what you know." For example: say someone wants to draw a hand, using a friend's hand as a model. He starts drawing the hand, it looks kind of funny to him and he thinks, "That's not what a hand looks like! I know what a hand is supposed to look like," and he stops looking at his friend's hand and starts drawing what he thinks a hand should look like. The drawing most likely won't be accurate because the artist stopped drawing what he SAW and started drawing what he THOUGHT. Stick with drawing what's in front of you and your drawing will turn out all right.

Good luck to you! :-)

Well, I don't think art is hard... once you get the hang of it. I started off okay, but I've gotten way better. What I do is, when drawing something that has been drawn before, I look at the picture, and draw the lines as I see them. I usually start off drawing parts that are foremost with nothing over lapping, and spread out from there. For drawing and designing new things, I think. What have I drawn before like this? Then I figure out what I want it to look like, and I remember how I drew the objects like what I'm drawing, and I draw it. I'd suggest beginers start drawing pre-drawn things, following my first steps. Go slow at first. It's a little time consuming when you start out, but it's worth it when it's done, and it only gets easier and quicker.

Buy some good drawing pencils and a sketch book. Simply try drawing what you see. Many people find, "The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards a good way to start. It's available from Amazon.

Also, here is an interesting website with a wide range of beginning, intermediate and advanced lessons. You can learn the terminology and the techniques.

Like anything in life, it is easy to learn, and difficult to master - I've been at it for years and I'm still learning.
I am completely self-taught, no lesons, books, or otherwise, I just sat down one day and decided to go for it, and I progressively got better and better.
Draw anything and everything - I have lost count of the amount of stuff that has gone in the trash, but that's OK, you just start again.
Take a look at my site and see what can be accomplished when you really persevere.
