Drawing skill, in my experience, comes mainly down to natural talent. If you’ve not got much you’ll get little reward from investing your time.



Boo. Everything I've learned, from work to living like an adult, has come down to practice. If I thought it was just "natural talent" I'd never attempt to get better at anything.


People like to credit their own hard work. You’ll never seen a winning athlete say how talented they are. We’ve created an an illusion that anyone can excel with hard work because it justifies inequalities. I was born good at drawing stuff so I capitalised on it somewhat.


What is your experience when it comes to drawing?
