    well i can recreate anything exactly perfect from a picture or still life in drawing an painting... but i realise now that is not really a talent... true art can be made from your own mind without references... i'm still practicing so i'd say i'm average. anyone can draw or paint just some need more patients when it comes to practicing

      I disagree. I think taking something and recreating it with your own spin while still making it accurate is a fairly unique skill. I learned that in college painting classes. Some people REALLY struggled to just copy a photo only bigger. Some people improved their photos with brighter colors and cool perspective shifts. Anyone can waive around a paint brush, but a true artist paints through his vision, whatever that may be. You are talented.

    My mum is an artist so I think me and my sister got it from her. Both my mum and sister have sold their work. I generally just do it for myself and no-one else ever sees it, although that's not always been the case. All three of us have been inundated with commissions at various times in our lives so we all now largely keep schtum about any talent we have. I'm the same with music. As soon as people find out you play a few instruments, they're on at you to perform for them. For me, anything creative I do is purely personal. Oh, except my comic strip. That got published to the web, got a few fans who still ask for new strips, but ultimately died a death because I ran out of ways to subvert the medium. It was a lot of fun at the time, though.

    I think a real piece of Art is made either accidentally, or with the fullest of the artist's heart~

    I can draw cartoons, and sometimes manga and anime. Everyone says my pictures are brilliant, but I'm not vain and I think they're just being polite.

      A artist can also be a CGI artist or a musician, so i judge that all (loose-defined (aka artists that do not directly have anything to do with putting paint on a canvas) ) artists can naturally draw.

      I have so many wonderful ideas, but when i try to draw them out, when come out utterly shit.

    I can draw pretty good. I love drawing Sailor Moon. When it comes to paint, not so good.

    I like to paint and draw but they aren't really my artistic forte. I make a lot of mosaics and do a lot with photography but I really like trying almost any form of art.

      I have talent as an artist but am supremely jealous of people who are great at building stuff (architects, engineers), fixing stuff (plumbers, mechanics, electricians, doctors), learning languages and running fast. I guess we all want more than we have :D

    I can draw, specifically illustrate, well. One of those random skills that has turned out to be amazingly helpful in areas one might not think of, like science. It does look cool when you can illustrate your own paper or poster graphics to explain something.

      Hey Picasso, those eyes are supposed to go in the middle of the face, horizontally. Why are they just stacked on the side?

      I always thought Picasso was a bit shit.

      Sorry Picasso.

    i can draw but i cant paint very well. when i draw realistically, it always looks slightly different...i guess its just a matter of style, because everyone has their own style.

    Love drawing so much. I've been practicing daily for 4 solid years, went through alot of art evolutions (change in drawing style) and along the way my art became more beautiful. But I have to admit, because of this, I work better with a pencil than a brush.
