  • Well, then just stop drawing etc and focus on the things you like. Whrere's the problem? Nobody's forcing you to become something you don't like just because you're good at it :)
    And if you want to become a doctor, put all your effort into it and leave your creativity be.

    • agreed. a little skeptical of the premise though -- of all the painters I know, they can't sculp. of the few sculpters I know, they can't draw. of the hundred pro artists I know, none would trade talent for being a doctor. being able to draw doesnt make you an artist. hmm.

      i'd never give up being creative for anything though. it's who I am. I worked at fermi lab when I was 16, got a bunch of science awards and a free ride to college from ACT and SAT scores. I skipped that path because research science seemed like feeding the war machine (70s). after tumbling around a bit, I discovered photo and it fed both sides of my brain. architecture fit as well. that's my suggestion -- feed both sides of your brain. if that's too hard, maybe you're not as creative as you think. be a medical illustrator.
