Talent?

[luco]

I was having an argument with a few people today. They were telling me that anyone can learn to draw and that it doesn't really require talent, just alot of practice.

They said that true talent can be seen in writing...

The argument went on for sometime and finally I just let them ramble and hoped they'd go away...

But it does make you wonder....I feel they both require talent....and I thought everyone felt that way as well.

Seems I was wrong....

My bad.

two cents from moi

Hmm.
I don't think either needs talent, but talent is a great help to both, and you really can't get as far without talent as you can with it. What's true for writing is true for art, because they're both really just different kinds of art, in my eyes. I've often applied principles of one when working with the other.
It sounds to me like you were arguing with writers, lol. True talent can be shown in writing, but not in art? Psh. I can't agree with that.

And don't worry about that picture. :) I'm very patient.

Patience is really good ^^;;; Everytime I try and concentrate on something else the Bunnies glare at me and well....they're deadly when they're pissed off...

Besides...as soon as Squall gets in the skirt he either doesn't want to pose or else is dragged off by another muse O___o

But yes....Talent does help both fields.
