ART – Drawing and the Myth of Talent
Being told you’re talented is meant to be a compliment. Perhaps if you’re not taking something very seriously it may be. However when you’ve spent years honing your craft, being told you’re talented really ends up coming across as if all the work you’ve done is being ignored.
More often than not, most people who draw really well, draw this way because of hours of practice and effort. Does that equal “talent” or is it hard work? How many people who have an affinity for drawing but who’s work isn’t any good YET, should be considered talented?
What is talent? Is there such a thing? In this video I answer some questions about talent:

Thankyou for sharing this video!
This was a very special gift that you gave. One of my fellow guitarists shared this video with us on a Guitar forum called Metal Method. It really resonated with me. You may believe that you addressed two topics but there were many more!
Thanks again
WOW! That’s really great. Thanks you for letting me know. I keep forgetting that the struggle transcends drawing and it applies to pretty much any art form that requires a skill set to learn.
