Hi Gary
Would be so happy to be a part of it :)
Here’s my work

as they occur around you.
Don't claim them.
Feel the artistry moving through,
and be silent.”

2003 Vs 2022. I should do a traditional one later, I would be able to dig even earlier art 🤣But yeah it's effort, no talent.

To anyone who thinks people are born with talent. Talent doesn’t exist, only dedication and passion.

Ridiculed during his lifetime by critics, Henri Rousseau (1844-1910) (https://t.co/6Pbpm5Ioh5) came to be recognised as a self-taught genius whose works are of high artistic quality. "The Snake Charmer" (1907) was painted in his typical naïve or primitive style. Excellent.

It should be a balance of skill and talent. :P

Anyway, here's pieces from 2009 (left) and 2022 (right).

It always stings a little when people talk about talent.
It’s not talent, it’s skill for which all of us artists work for!
Let us appreciate that instead of using an excuse 🙏

2016 vs 2022

I used to get super frustrated because I 'wasn't good at art' and was jealous of people with 'talent.' Only in the last 3 years did I start to *really* focus on practicing fundamentals and start seeing a big improvement.

I wanna put my two cents in this too. Art is not about talent. Its the energy and dedication you are willing to put into it! I have dedicated and hyperfixated hours and days of my life to get to where I am now.

Heres a drawing from 2012 compared to my art now lol

I have worked hard to reach this skill level. And still a lot of work ahead. Be persistent and you won't need any talent.

no one is born with god given artistic talent. we chose to pick up a pencil and draw, worked for years to learn and grow and improve our craft.

There is no such thing as talent. It's all years of work put into it.

I don't believe in talent. There are hundreds and thousands of invested hours/efforts/ups and downs that are devalued by this word - talent. There is a passion for drawing that moves us forward. It's always about love which turns into a skill, and nothing more

8th grade vs last year. I've been drawing my whole life. When I was a teenager, I still couldn't draw at level of completion teenagers today can. Practice helped me improve. Drawing is similar to mathematics in that you can get very far without natural talent.

2019 vs 2022

The two drawings on the left were from my first year as an artist, while the two on the right are from this year. Patience, persistence, hard work, self-criticism. Not just talent.
