Just answering some of the common questions regarding what tools I use over the years. Some of you might find it helpful if you want to get into charcoal / pastel drawing.

Sick post. In sports, depending on what you do it's around 2% raw talent whereas the rest is practice, practice.

some people are naturally much better at some things than other people
i think that's where you can use the term "natural talent"
maybe its a 5-year gap in training to bring them up to the same base standard and from then on it may (or may not) be equal footing in progression
which isn't much if you put the work in but if you are naturally bad at something it makes it exponentially harder to train it in many real-world scenarios .
and i think that is a lot better of a definition of talent than "everyone is pretty much the same if you put in infinite hours of work"
someone naturally talented at singing is gonna be able to sing pretty well without any training and someone naturally shit at singing due to genetics is gonna be extremely and indisputably untalented at it by comparison . and someone highly naturally talented is gonna stand out above even the talented ones
anyway i don't know what he said about talent coz i fell asleep, Trump is off sick and your voice is so soothing glider lol

Its like you didnt even bother watching the video all the way.. sigh. Most people that show a talent in drawing show that in mechanical skills, meaning they have an easier time getting certain techniques down, like drawing with your elbow and shoulders to get better lines, since most beginners tend to draw like how they write (with the wrist). But thats only a part of drawing, but as i said that is imo where most of the talented people get a headstart. In the end most people can be taught to learn to draw, ofcourse there is always a point where people will struggle, and some people might go further than others with less or more time.

Anyhow, great video, it was very informative. I hope you do more of these in the future.

wow thats great, i am very happy you make this video. Its so interesting to hear from a pro who talkes about his subject. Also at the end where you say, that everybody can surprise himself with hard work, and talent is overrated. Thats exactly what i think !!
