I suck at art, no talent either. I can't draw anything that doesn't suck, even my handwriting is usually pretty bad. On other arts, I've tried composing music, turns out you should take any music software from my hands before it's too late; 3D CG, never had time for it; technical drawing, ok skills (omg weird); ASCII art: not really; so meh, politically correct llamas would say I'm "artistically-challenged", which translates to I suck at art.

If you'd try again, and again, you should become better... You know my first soundtrack that I made with Ejay? I can1t stand that! LOL, just keep the heads up, and try again and again, as I sad b4...
BTW, my handwriting is unreadable, but i can still draw pretty good now, thanks to trying it again, after 2 years of trying... be patient...

Trying again works as long as you make any progress and have some skill. If you're not skilled, you'll always suck, and if you try really hard and spend years (which I don't have), you might get to be decent or even good, but if you have the natural skill you'll be fairly decent from the start and get to be awesome making a big progress every attempt.

Well IMO everybody has talent, just donno about it... but yeah, I have some kinda talent, that works out a bit, but you two should also give it another few shots...

Yes, we could eventually draw decent, however, it'd take us too much work and time to get decent at drawing. And why work with something like that, when we could just work with things we're already good at. Say, if you're musically talented, it's smarter to spend your high school years in music classes, rather than developing mediocre art skills, which will never really be useful, outside of a small little hobby. Maybe if I get rich and retire early in life, and have tons of free time, then I'd work on art [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I used to practice drawing manga sketches, using a tutorial book; but i lost the time to carry on with it after getting through the portrait perspective section. I got the basics down, its all about outlining and measuring the sizes of all the shapes your going to use, and then you can let your imagination flow as you draw over the framework you've made. It just takes preparation, time and practice to get it right.
It was a lot of fun, but at the time i wanted to devote more efforts to my ambitious script and story-writing projects (which unfortunately never seemed to meet an end). It was still an artistic pursuit, but it was one that i was more experienced with back then.

Anyways, im sure Wiseman and Xel have other ways to use their creativity; obviously, it doesnt always have to involve a pen and paper.
