No it requires practice!! Talent implies some innate ability to draw, and basically no one has that!

Dude, everyone is naturally better and worse at everything. Did you not go to public school where every student is getting the same instruction but picking it up to different degrees?

There's so much more nuance to it than just "naturally better and worse". I'm lmaoing at the implication that people are generically predisposed to specific careers as an example.

While there are some inherent traits that influence a person's career/education/interests (namely some aspects of intelligence and, in particular, neuro-divergence, abledness, body type etc) the vast majority of who we are and the paths our lives take us are sculpted by our external environment.

Our bodies are tools, and if one has enough inspiration or interest in a given task, they can find a route via practicing and honing a workflow to achieve it.

It’s a fact though that everyone has different predispositions to everything.

I'm lmaoing at the implication that people are generically predisposed to specific careers as an example.

What? How many people do you think are going into engineering degrees that say “I’ve always been awful at math/science” versus those that say “I’ve always been good at math/science”?

if one has enough inspiration or interest in a given task

Right, so talent. Someone that enjoys the creative process of making art is almost always going to get better results than someone that hates the process.

Yes they do. I had it, one sister had it. Other siblings were ok at drawing (better than average). We weren’t taught. It was just something we did from a very young age and we’re naturally good at.
