Talent is overrated, and placing all the emphasis on this one minor factor tells people that if they don’t have “talent”, that if it doesn’t come out perfect the first time with little to no effort, that you’re just doomed to mediocrity, so why try at all?  Art is for those with “talent”. I call bullshit. Creating art is for those with enough passion for it to do all the hard work that it takes to build the skills you need to be able to make tangible what you see in your head.
