Bill Mulligan recently posted a comment in the previous thread in which he told me, “I always envy people like yourself with genuine artistic talent. I wish I could do what you do. I suppose not being able to has forced me to develop skills in other areas but I’d gladly trade those growing experiences for the ability to be able to draw something remotely like what I can see in my head.”

Regardless of how much or how little talent I possess, drawing is a skill which must be learned. There is very little about drawing that comes naturally to me. It is a skill I am forced to develop through practice.

Me, I envy people with genuine musical talent, and athletes. But I don’t have what they’ve got, so I have to develop skills in other areas.

In other words, Bill Mulligan and I aren’t as different as he may believe.
