<p>   Art can be fun. Art can also be challenging. You want to be able to make finished images that everyone adores, but probably wonder "how?" </p>
<p>   A lot of people seem to think there is some mythical "talent" that some are simply born with. Many seem to wrongly believe "Oh, I'm not talented at drawing, so I can't do it, even despite being interested." Let me just state it now. Talent may exist, sure, but it's not quite as important as everyone seems to believe. Most artists didn't just get their skills overnight. They didn't wake up on their 7th birthday and just happen to be able to draw. They started off drawing stick figures, just like everyone else. So how did they get to where they are now? </p>
<p>   They simply practiced. And practiced. And then practiced even more. </p>
<p>   Let me put it another way. If you desired an engineering degree, you wouldn't go "Oh I'm not talented as an engineer. I wasn't born knowing high end mathematics and science so I shouldn’t pursue it." No, you would likely go to a school and put thousands upon thousands of hours in, trying to learn your craft and attain your dream. Similarly, if you wish to pursue art, even as just a hobby, you need to invest countless hours to become skilled at it. </p>
<p>   At this point, you might simply think "well I don't wish to spend that much time drawing, or doing computer graphics, or whatever." In that case, that's your decision and art just isn't for you. That's okay! At least you recognize what's important to you. </p>
<p>   But for anyone who may still be interested, the biggest thing I can recommend is to practice as often as you can. You can read up all you want, watch countless videos, and study all the art theory you find, but in the end it really comes down to how often you practice- It's the only way anyone can become truly skilled at their trade. </p>
