Yes, for great and/or original art. I'll never be great at art. But I can become better with practice.

most things get better with practice

to be a great artist you need to practice not just the draughtsmanship of drawing, but also the way you look at things, the way you think about things, and the way you then manipulate them in your imagination; the latter is where many fall short

I fail in three out of three of your statements.

I am happy just being a good mechanic. What was that movie quote? A man's got to know his limitations...

Well, there's plenty of room between zero and hero for people to enjoy making art. If you don't even try you will never enjoy making art and will never enjoy belonging to the community of people who could care less about being a great artists but enjoy making art.

I didn't know you were so knowledgeable about this subject handrawn.

Don't be put off - everyone can enjoy making and appreciating art. It doesn't have to be good to be fun. Even great artists don't always abide by handrawn's list of requirements.
