    Here's a bit more encouragement to get that 1% of talent and beyond..

    In case anyone wonders, I have no commercial relationship with these people.

    I did not say that Paul; I never said you cannot enjoy art at any level; nor did set out to discourage anyone

    what I did was make an argument for there being degrees of ability, and that some of the higher degrees are going to require talent, and the accepted definition of talent is as I gave from the dictionary quotes earlier

    if you don't accept that, I have no problem, but I know that nature gives different people different levels of ability in many different ways

    I am sorry if you feel I was getting at anyone...

    That's good to know, so I think we are both pointing in the same direction and now it's up to Egg..

    I do sketch but it is not as good as this man's work, he surely has talent.

    I don't know, I think art - at least the art that I do, comes naturally. Sure you have to gain skills in whatever medium you work with. I use hand-drawn, vector map art using Xara, and using 3D software as my preferred mediums. I almost don't consider myself an artist, rather a visual communicator. I see images in my head, and am forced to create them to let others see what I see. I have an overactive imagination, and my naturual inclination at spacial geometry and image balance is always there. I'm not saying I'm a great artist, but the 3 points brought up by handdrawn, I have in spades... (shrug).
