I see many people saying "oh I, can't draw" and just give up under the impression it's is purely something gifted to people. It seems to be this way with many things.



Talent is something you are born with and skill is something that needs by chipping away bit by bit.



Do you think most people mistake skill for talent and just give up on sh*t? Are you one of these people?

A skill is a learned ability. Talent is what makes learning a skill easy or hard. Not all skills can be learned by all people.
