I think everyone is talented, just in different ways. I cannot crochet or knit to save my life and I see what my friends make and think they are way more talented than me. My pictures will never keep me warm like a crocheted blanket!
My tutor would say that there is no such thing as "talent" just determination and practice I am not sure I entirely agree with him but I think if you love doing something enough you will spend time learning how to do it and how to improve doing it.
I am also not able to draw a lot of things. I cannot draw a human likeness, my life drawings at college looked like something off Dr Who! I would not attempt a pet portrait (the owner would probably come after me with a knife when they say the picture!), my landscapes are a bit ropy as well but I have found what I can draw and I enjoy doing it.
People sometimes ask what I enjoy doing the most, the pottery or the drawings and its a difficult thing to answer as I enjoy both in the same amount. I have a "butterfly" brain and I like to flit between doing different things to keep my interest.
