I have loved to draw my entire life. I feel that art comes so naturally to me, I could not even imagine ever being terrible at it. I have friends who "can't draw for their lives" and I find it so hard to believe. It all just comes so easily to me, even when I was a little girl. I remember people asking me to draw things for them when I was younger, because they didn't have the skill to do it without help. It's almost as if I was born with my skill. I could not even fathom the thought that something I do so easily, was so difficult or even impossible for others. In fact, I still can't.
My sister, who is an artist, never drew, painted, or anything when she was younger. And now she is great at it, because she realized that is want she wanted to do. She gained her skill by learning later in life, whereas I've had it almost my whole life (without taking a single class).
So, what I'm asking, have any of you ever felt this? Have you ever felt that you were born with your talent? Or, did you decided you wanted to do it, and learned to become better over time?
And if you have any other comment, please elaborate.
(Btw: I don't mean to sound cocky or anything, I'm just trying to explain how I feel.)
