Thank you @fampai! Well, like many I've been drawing for my own pleasure since I was a kid. I'd often stay in and draw instead of going outside. I only got serious about it a year or so ago. I've had periods when I haven't drawn much as I have a plethora of other hobbies.

I think some can be talented at drawing. Just as some are mathematical geniuses.

Have you happened to see the movie Gattaca? (If not, watch it!). I think of it like that. Maybe there is someone with an eidetic memory and a real knack for drawing but if you work hard you can get where you want. If you purely think of drawing as some contest (it really isn't) you probably don't really like it. I enjoy various styles ranging from what one could call "childish" to realism to more experimental ones.
