I disagree. It's true that some people may stale because they get stuck and don't have the natural instinct to know where to go and what to do to improve, but anyone can become amazing with hard work (and perhaps someone to guide them). I have a friend who had absolutely NO talent for anything (as rude as it sounds), yet she tried and tried and ended up going to one of the top design schools and now she's doing a pretty good job at being a costume designer. I was amazed at how good she's become, knowing how crap her drawings used to be.

Maybe I'm just taking it too personally. I have tried really really hard all my life to be artistic, and it just didn't happen. So when people come in and say that it's not talent, it's just the fact that I haven't tried hard enough, it's pretty darn insulting and depressing to me.

Like I said above, I do think there's a lot of hard work involved, I just think that it has to be a combo of work+talent.

Talent simply means you'll understand things a bit faster, but it's far away from being everything. I'm sorry art didn't work out for you, have you tried getting help from forums and such? Sometimes one needs a good nudge in the right direction to make the first step towards improvement. It's a slow process, but I'm convinced anyone can do it.

I actually grew up in a family of artists. I've been really lucky and have been exposed to a lot of different techniques and talents. Believe me, I've tried everything. It's just not gonna happen for me. I've mostly accepted this about myself, I just get a little touchy about it now and then.
