If by talent you mean that I'm to stubborn to quit before I've reached my goal, then, yes, I have talent.

Anything worth doing well is worth doing poorly first.

When folks look at my work, they frequently comment,  "Oh, you're so talented.  I could never do that."  Well, it just ain't so! 

Very few, if any, of us start off as masters of a skill: skills are learned.  I've never heard of anyone who developed a signature without practice.  The physical act of drawing or painting is no different: it is just a mechanical skill.  It can be learned by anyone whos has the desire and is willing to put in the time and effort. 

To show what I mean, there is a history of my self-portraits below.  It should be obvious that I did not possess "talent" when I began.  However, with hard work and acres of paper, I've been able to reach a level of mastery that, while not perfect, is pleasing to me.

So if you have the desire to learn to draw, get out there and do it.  Read books, attend classes, and above all put pencil to paper!
