ambition can take up the slack left off of "natural tallent"

the more you can "use what works for you", the better your art work will become; worry about mont os the formal tecknque later, and get a bases for what your good at now.

Most art is largely skill. The people with talent just have a leg up on the competition, but most of it can be learned over time.

I'd say yes. Mainly because I've always been crap at drawing stuff. Recently I've been drawing a lot, and generally just improving as I continue.

This is how i generally view most things in life, obviously there are some exceptions, and although i've not learnt everything i want to do yet, as far as i'm concerned, i could learn pretty much anything if i put the time in, and hopefully i'll get to learn and perfect most of the things i want to do

I'm taking an art class right now in school, since I had a schedule problem with AP Latin. You do learn a lot of concepts of art.

Btw, I'm completley sick of gesture drawing. We've been doing them for almost two weeks now.

Edit: Gesture drawings being quick sketches that show what a character is doing, his pose, and where his weight is, ect, without getting into any fine details.

Hah, I love doing gesture drawing. :x

HOLY **** YOSHI YOU TWO MUST BE THE SAME PERSON, GO TO A DOCTOR AND GET MEDICATION!

I've been in art school for nearly two years now. I never took any art classes in high school and, in fact, I used to make fun of my horrible stick figures all the time. I still have a long way to go, but I've come quite a ways too. Anyone can learn, if they really want it badly enough..

I don't know why you people keep voting yes when I'm a clear example to the contrary. I'm telling you, I cannot be taught.
