Hello, I have no talent.

[@Skinnychelle48]

I started trying to sketch and paint last year with absolutely no experience and no talent (I’m 60 years old). I started my art journey with pumpkins because I figured that would be an easy thing to sketch and I love fall colored things. I bought a cheap mixed media sketchbook, some cheap watercolor paint, a decent brush and a couple of pencils and I practiced everyday a bit, it became addictive and very therapeutic for me and I didn’t judge myself, I just kept doing it. I have gotten soooo much better at sketching and I really like looking back to see how far I’ve come from my pumpkin days! There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t sketch and paint something, it’s how I destress and just sink into a land far away! I love ur channel because everything u say is soooooo true!

I need to do art again

[@megsgonnamake]

I've always felt this way...I was a benchwarmer my whole life...solo at the lunch table and always the talented gal's sister! Now I just DO ME! I create...i do my best and I realize now that I don't have to be PERFECT..I am still a creator and more importantly I have a PASSION..A PASSION for art. Through "keeping on" I found that I am pretty great at making hand bound memory keeping books. Although that isn't what I was trying for it happened and I enjoy it. For now I still keep up with my sketchbook bcz it makes ME HAPPY. The process is so freeing and I don't have to show anyone. One day I'll get better at drawing lol for now I am happy just trying my best and making things for ME! Starting a sketchbook changed me for the better and I am so glad I did..I started my sketchbook bcz of YOU!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL U DO FOR PPL LIKE ME!! XX

Oh My Goodness....Mr. Gregory, this specific tutorial just hit me like a brick. I feel exactly like this. So unworthy. But as I sat here and held on to every word you said, It felt like you were my hidden ego, my displaced confidence, my self conscious talking me through my struggles. You have no idea how much you touch people as they can relate to every word you say. Thank you, Mr. Gregory - I will continue to watch and listen to your words. Till next time....................

Just want to say how much I LOVE TIM!!!!!! I had a little long haired dachshund who looked so much like him. Thanks for sharing that moment of joy!!!!!

[@kylaysabellecorpuz5118]

This is comforting, thank you for giving me hope to try again. To do more art :)

[@mexico53ify]

Tim doesn't need talent. He's cute!

[@QHealer]

Being cute is his talent :-) I am glad you took the time to write about him.

[@Cyd1057]

It's a super fun class! Everyone who hesitates with their skills should try it.

[@laowaistudieschina7470]

Talent schmalent. Interest in art, desire to do art, skill acquisition through repetition, and consistent effort will trump "talent" every time.

[@lmcclymont]

I absolutely love ❤️ the tone and feel of your videos, so reassuring and comfy whilst still being an inspiration to get started and keep going.

[@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies]

I had been a talented professional vocalist for a great many years when a drunk driver took my ability to be on stage away from me. Every once in awhile I would draw a graphite horse or wolf not realizing that I was pretty good at it. 2 years ago a dear friend of mine saw me sketching on a piece of paper because I was very very sick with pneumonia and couldn't do much else. She was impressed I guess because she then bought me a very good set of pencils to draw and color with and some different papers. So I drew some commissioned portraits of her animals which she loved thankfully. Since then I have worked at it and grown my skill at drawing animals. I think that whether you have talent or not most of what comes with art is skill. They are learned habits and knowledge that we can choose to gain. I still have no idea how to draw people well in fact I suck at it. I used to oil paint and I'm learning more and more about acrylics because I can't really be around the chemicals from working in oils. And now I have this hair brain skin to learn more about watercolors and to try to draw people with my animals. What you do here matters you inspire and help people to want to grow. I personally would say that's one hell of a talent! Thank you

I know how he feels my life feels like this and it brings me down every day

[@gogogolyra1340]

I have no talent but i work hard

[@lisahodges8299]

If you have no talent you have nothing to lose by trying. I thought that meeting "notes" that I took were just weird until I saw Dannys'. Birdy

[@lilaccilla]

ahhhh , Tim ❤️👍🏼😇

[@Reconbox1001]

The skills we have to fight for has the most value. I have seen natural talents in many trades squander it all away because it had no value to them though the great potential thay had/have. FUN is the key word for the one who has a an interesse. A good mentor/teacher for the one who struggles.

[@rosejacqueline2007]

i love your videos... i always say i have no talent cant wait tobprove myself wrong 🌹 God bless you and Tim 🙏🏿

[@TravisNeilson]

Sold. Thanks Danny!

[@TheMartinslima]

Hands down video. Thanks.

[@katnaz_]

Hard work beats talent (or only talent) so keep going :)

[@SketchBookSkool]

Yes! 🙌

[@mediocreperson3835]

But talent or passion for something make the person do hard work,while ppl like me who doesn't had one feel worthless and hard to do so

[@ThrillhouseToTheMax]

@@mediocreperson3835 Talent can often cause those who have it to become complacent, which allows those who are passionate and hard workers to be better. Of course, you have some who are innately talented and passionate hard workers, they are often the ones we laud as geniuses or prodigies. There will always be someone who is insanely better than you, with any skill, but that doesn't mean your art doesn't have inherent worth. Be you, do you, have fun!

[@ingeleonora-denouden6222]

I have a different problem. It seems I do have talent. At least they told me, since I was about 12, I had talent for drawing. I liked that, so I went on drawing, and later started painting too. But my problem is: I can't promote myself as an artist. When others say I am, I agree. I can't sell my work myself (and I don't have the money to pay someone for selling it). How do I learn that?

[@Night-Taco]

Simply put, good art sells itself. The hardest art to sell is abstract, the easiest is masterful drawings or paintings; anatomy, landscapes, still life. The reason good art sells easily is because there is a market for it, and inevitably, even if you bought it on a whim, it'd be easy to flip or sell to a gallery or dealer. Keep drawing, keep painting, if you stick with it, you will see results.

[@joshnoonan4822]

Sorry what's the best course to start if you don't draw what to start is it the the bootcamp course thanks mate

[@diannedidomizio52747]

I think they are afraid to fail ~

[@kathytrombetta3438]

I am interested in this course but you refer to it as a 1 week workshop with 26 video lessons. Do I only have 1 week to view all 26 lessons?

[@gracefoster4861]

You have forever. Once you buy it it is yours and available to you. You can skip classes, watch them more than once. Plus, most classes also have additional free ones, just scroll down the page. I love it.

[@jannahlyon]

Thanks for sharing this with us, is the course appropriate to do with kids?

[@GlazesRaV]

Hey, IMO world talent was made up by lazy people. As you said people who draw as a kid just picked up that crayon and liked how it works, drawing all the time and making it into a fun hobby and passion. They were not scared to do it ;)

[@samdavepollard]

imagine telling a child who's learning how to walk, or talk, that they have no talent

[@VishalNamani]
