I wanted to talk about artistic talent, ic.

Some people say it does not exist and its only hard work (Alla Prima's introduction comes to mind). I believe that this is a noble stance to take to avoid discouraging people. Noble, yet dishonest.

So I wanted to hear your thoughts on what talent is.

Personally I believe that ability to manipulate 3d objects purely in imagination is a genetically inherited trait, similar to limb length or mathematical ability. Everything else, color theory (not sure about color however), construction, design, composition etc can be learned, visual library can be expanded, so you can be a successful AND a skilled artist even if you lack the intuitive understanding of surrounding space that, for example, Kim Jung Gi exhibits (there are plenty of people who drew and studied theory as much as Kim and few who can draw like him).

What do you guys think?

Wanted to talk about this for a long time.
Im drawing sinse 2007 and mainly working with games/animations so im not well known in "young memeing people of Tumblr" so i never do comissions because im unpopular.
But i get asked about sometimes, look at person's profile and say that im not available, if the profile looks too autistic.

How people deal with this?
Im SO very afraid if i get asked to draw some retarded shit (furries/weird OCs/autistic waifus or porn). I rarely seen comissions being interesting to draw.
Even the word "comission" to me sounds so unprofessional, so Deviantart level.

- Post weird stories about you doing a comission you HATED to do
- Post advices for people in my situation

PS:
Also part of my paranoija is a situation that happened with me back in 2011. I was comissioned to draw 6 characters for one guy.
I needed money because i was on my start and got payment upfront. (90$ for 6 full body/painting-coloring characters...yeah)
IT...WAS....FUCKING...HELL!!!
I cringe and shake every time i remember that year. The guy who comissioned me was so weird. So autistic with little details.
I was receiving over 9000000000000000 fixes and changes.
We actually im not kidding discussed the drawing of 1 ring on a retarded girl OC finger for almost a week.
It was a bunch of characters with tons of tiny details - necklaces, rings, marks.
I was frustrated tired and completely empty, i hated art and drawing so much, that at the end of that work i was just lying in bed and questioning if i ever want to be an artist.
It's one of reasons im afraid to take comissions - i think people in general from Tumblr or Deviantart can't have any interesting ideas i want to draw.
It will be either some autistic OC or anything like that.
1) i wont get that much of money from an unemployed person
2) neither i will like drawing the thing he/she wants from me

Remember the words of our good friend Feng Zhu: “"there is no secret to drawing. The more you do it, the better you'll get. It's all about mileage. A lot of people try to look for shortcuts, but there aren't any. Just bite the bullet and do the work. There is no easy path."

what do you tell yourself to keep believing that you'll "make it" or continue "making it" as a livelihood?

while taking a semester off from school to study art isn't by any means outrageous or risky future-career-wise, myself from half a year ago would never imagine doing something like this. it's kinda scary imagining taking complete responsibility for everything - failures included - for once.

I know this can be improved to become a true piece of art.
I've only changed it a little since the first pic, but I'm looking for some semi-serious suggestions.
