As untalented as i am.. I am surrounded with friends that are either good writers or singers.. Nothing seems to come easy when other people seem to fly but you can’t quite do the things you want to do in the way you want.
I've learned that if you pour yourself into whatever you wish you had “talent” in you will eventually develop that skill... For most of us here, Steemit has helped us discover what we are good at.
Hopefully you'll get better at your drawing too... "Practice makes perfect". :))
Thank You!
Personally I got a very talented and artistic mother and brother, the two have an huge amount of skill drawing and painting.
As a kid I wanted to have a talent as big as they had, so I started drawing, I sucked at first but when I reached 12 I could draw decently I think...
that being said I didn't felt it was really my thing, I realised I could never be as good as they were...
I felt very disappointed at myself at the time, but, luckily, for random reasons, a guitar came to me and I fell in love with it. I could feel there was something special about it and I developed a very special connection with music.
I recognize myself as a musician and a guitar player, I really feel that playing electric guitar is the best thing I can do... But years ago I realized I wanted to sing too and I'm in a kind of strange relationship with singing.
I mean I don't thing i'm good but I'm still doing it... I keep trying to get better because as you said everything improves with practice
If I got to tell you something it would be to not give up on anything just because you didn't started young
Keep your motivation up, and practice whatever skill do you want to develop !
I came to singing late as well. I know I'll never be great, but I can entertain people. You just have to try these things and find your niche. If it makes you happy then go for it.
I think everyone's creative, just a matter of finding it and letting it loose! I'm not good at drawing but then again it's probably a learnable skill to a degree. Everyone has their natural talents but the majority of improvement and production comes from continuous, diligent work on a craft.
Agreed, not enough hours in the day for it all!
There were times when i could draw a portrait in just 10 minutes. It was easy for me. My drawings were accurate. It all happened with practice. I used to draw atleast one portrait in a day. Sometimes 2. Sometimes i used to draw difficult portraits again and again. This made it easy for me to draw the next thing.
I'll try to make it more of a habit and see how it goes.
I never quite got the hang for drawing. I just stick to the guitar and music. I think its important to just keep exploring things. We all have talents.
wow how long have you been playing guitar? can you play any 3 doors down songs? cool drawing, i can only draw very very detailed stick men lol
I've been playing around 40 years, but not always enough to get really good. I don't know any of their songs I'm afraid.
ahhh, its funny, all my years i was in the military every time a guitar some how came up, they new a bunch of their songs lol
You never know when it comes to doodling, what will happen.
I was doodling in a very boring meeting when I was in Police.
Everyone could see me doing it and nobody said anything, so I carried on.
At the end of the meeting my boss came up and said it was really good and asked if he could have it.
What could I say? So I let him have it.
I just wish i could translate that to laying a musical instrument.
I have negative talent when it comes to music. I am the anit-musician. I am where music goes to die.
I think there are very few people with no musical ability. People say they are tone deaf without knowing what it really means. I'm still discovering what I can do. Wish I'd done more when I was younger
Cool, that you are so adventurous. I think that playing music, drawing, dancing and writing poetry all such things are something all people should do more often. To me doing these things often it has been programming that was the big adventure :)
I don't know that I'm going to take up dancing just yet. I do enjoy creating. Too many people are just passive consumers
:) maybe you don't need all of them, but many people really gains from getting away from Britain's Got Talent in the telly, and trying out some of their own talents
I think it looks pretty hood, @steevc! I have always wanted to be better at drawing, but never really learned the basics, so at least you are a lot better than I am ;) I'm sure the guitar skills will be helpful if you are going to be learning and practicing, because as you said, motor skills are a huge part of it.
Best regards from @valth
very good @steevc keep it going.. I like your drawing..
