Do You Think That Someone Could Learn How To Be Good At Art? Or Is It Something You're Born With?

Do you think that someone could learn how to be good at art? Or is it something you're born with?

I believe everyone who perseveres can draw good, BUT there are some people who has skills that help them become better quicker... and what are those skill exactly? well, first of all it's the ability to not over-frustrate yourself or the ability to turn that frustration into fuel to be better... like Jake from adventure time said "Dude, sucking at something is the first step to become sorta good at something" if you give yourself permission to suck at first, you can see what's wrong with what you did and you won't make those mistakes again (or at least you'll be cool when you see it's not as easy as it looks like)and I kinda lost the train of thoughts I was having, so I'll just list a bunch of stuff I think will lead to a better understanding of art and could eventually make you a better artist.Be exposed to a lot of different stuff, you'll start finding beauty in a lot of things and mistakes in others, you'll soon find out what you want to reach... be observant with what you like and apply it to what you're doing... ask yourself why do you like the things you like and why do you dislike the things you dislikeDon't be afraid of asking for help, if you can't put your finger on your mistakes, ask someone else for help... if you can't think of anyone, I'm here and I love to talk about this kinda stuff xD Be open to what others have to say... (but obvs ignore everyone calling you poopface) sometimes strangers will give you great adviceOf course, everytime I see a 14 yo who draws good I cry inside a little, but I try to think that they also worked to get where they are, so it's great for them...

Thanks for your ask, dear Anon, idk why you came to me to ask this but I spent like an hour thinking so thanks ♥

I Know How Everyone Likes To Bash These Two As Unoriginal And Lazy Designs, But I Was Kind Of Surprised

I know how everyone likes to bash these two as unoriginal and lazy designs, but I was kind of surprised at how difficult magneton is to draw...

also I bought some strong magnets the other day and let me tell you, I truly think those things evolve by sticking together

I Remember Loving This Line So Much Because They Evolve Super Fast And Then Buterfree Is Pretty Strong

I remember loving this line so much because they evolve super fast and then buterfree is pretty strong in comparison to the other pokemon that you encounter in the early game, it also gives you a little taste of psychic pokemon early on...

Ahh... Squirtle Was Actually My First Starter Pokemon The First Time I Played Pokemon Red, His Sprite

Ahh... Squirtle was actually my first starter pokemon the first time I played Pokemon red, his sprite was so endearing that I chose him over Charmander... Also I had looked up Wartortle and I thought it was so cute with the little cheeks and swirly tail, I was a bit disappointed on its sprite though...
