Bullshit on your take.

I know very well those random mfers who draw INSANELY better than I do and we are in the same class AND they're younger than me.

And you know why? They have drawn for WAYYYYY longer than I have. It's that simple. Of course they also researched how to draw better and learn from their mistakes, but the core thing is that they drew MORE than I did.

Not a single person that draws INCREDIBLE hasn't gone through a shitton of time drawing things they though were horrible, and maybe even to this day they still think their drawings skills are subpar, but that's what makes them hungry for more.

Sure everyone has to practice, but not all people have the potential to improve equally.

>In a study published in PLoS ONE earlier this year, researchers from the University of Helsinki assessed people's musical creativity based on their ability to judge pitch and time as well as skills such as composing, improvisation and arranging. They found that the presence of one particular cluster of genes correlated with musical creativity. Crucially, this cluster belongs to a gene family known to be involved in the plasticity of the brain: its ability to reorganise itself by breaking and forming new connections between cells.

Based on all available information, it is very likely that the capacity for creativity is shaped by genetic influences –– it’s a complicated way of saying that creativity and artistic interests can almost certainly be inherited.”
