How to become a talented artist

Do you know that telling some good artist "you are so talented" is probably the worst compliment you can give. If an artist has really great skills, it is not down to some inborn talent, but hard and long work. No one is born with fantastic drawing skills; it takes years and thousands of hours to develop them. Naturally, some people are more inclined to drawing than others and they draw for years, go to art schools and colleges, practice daily for their entire life. Giving all credit to a talent is belittling an artist's hard work, persistence and efforts. Here's what one of the greatest artists, Michelangelo Buonarroti once said: "If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all."
