Thanks guys. I suppose I'd find myself somewhere in the middle of the "talent vs hard work" argument. I think that people can have a certain degree of natural ability, but without practice and interest, that ability can become an untapped potential.
I've always been able to draw dragons with little effort, although when I first started drawing dragons in elementary and middle school, they sure looked nothing like those I've linked to. While I have always thought of dragons as "easy," it is probably my deep interest and constant practice (without realizing that it was practice) that have made them seem that way.
I have always envied those who can draw humanoids effortlessly, because I would love to be able to draw my own D&D and gaming characters. There are many things that I can draw if I have a reference, but what I end up with always ends up being a copy of that reference, lol. I am sure that with enough practice and repetition, I could draw the things I want to, but my frustration over being unable to "get it quickly" often overrides my interest in continuing.
Anyway, thanks again, and I'll post if I end up adding anything to my page.
