attract

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'good at drawing?' is the wordplay.
'good at' becomes 'attr' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'drawing?' becomes 'act' (drawing is a kind of act).
'attr'+'act'='ATTRACT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attract that I've seen before include "to be appealing" , "Draw towards or get attention of" , "Draw towards, being magnetic" , "Draw, pull" , "Draw towards one, as magnet does metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
