Spleen portrait in blue
These couples of drawings have a difference of 8 years between each other.
I just made this comparison because I don’t believe being able to develop any skill is about talent or just “having a gift”, it’s about perseverance and the wish to overcome your own limitations and get the goals you set for yourself, “making art” is not different, as anything else in life, you must fail until you start to get progress little by little, but I believe you never stop learning and evolving.
You have to be willing to make it “wrong” more times that it will turn out “right”, there’s nothing magical or exceptional about drawing, at least if you’re some Picasso or Caravaggio.
It’s true we all have different capabilities and our brains have different “kinds of intelligence”, but if you really want to get an hability like drawing, you just have to be passionate and stubborn, but also humble and open to constructive criticism.
But hey! This is just my opinion
I recently participated in the project “Tschuttiheftli”. That is a sticker album for which I drew the entire Icelandic world cup team (and also a mascot).
It was a real pleasure (and a challenge) to draw all those different faces and work out the individual characteristics.
